No one else in the world is like you. Ain’t that amazing?
I want to be free of you… the way you, obviously, are free of me.
Some birds aren’t meant to be caged, their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up, does rejoice.
I won’t call again, I promise, but I need to see you face to face… because I’m never as good as when you’re there…and I can see myself the way you look at me. And I’m sorry. If we could just get together and find some time to talk. Lets say all the things we never said.
Time is never wasted when you’re wasted all the time.
