Tried to fly away on paper wings
That melt in the sun and burn in the rain
Try to run away on thin ice
Watch it break, right in front of my eyes
I couldn't see through those heartless lies
But I could feel a core of ice
Tried so hard to shed my skin
But I never will, no I never will
I could bring you fire, and shelter from the rain
But you would burn it down, and make me build again
I could guard your home, and set your mind at ease
Tie me to a stone and imprison me in pain
Denounce me as a turncoat, you prosecute my heart
cast me to the pit, so I can do my part
There I'll build my wings, And stealthily escape
only to be helpless as the story's told again
I couldn't see through those heartless lies
But I could feel a core of ice
Tried so hard to harden my skin
But I never will, no I never will
