lyrics

Mending My Own Wings

They said to me "You're not invited,
To come to our party because you're absurd"
But all I wanted was understanding
And for sometimes to be heard
This was for me, a very harsh time
I always felt like I wasn't in line
They made me feel I was missing something
But now I'm leaving them behind

Because they would've been someone special
But I must always have the last say… 'cause

I'm mending my own wings
You know I'm mending my own wings

I always hated being the one
To be picked on when at school
I always felt like I lost something
When my soul had to prove I'm no fool
But with this pain from childhood
I'll no longer sing their old tunes
And with the strength that is growing
I no longer carry these old wounds

You know they could've made someone special
But I must always have the last say… 'cause

I'm mending my own wings
You know I'm mending my own wings

This is an affirmation
I'm no longer in Isolation
You know my strength is growing
And now my will won't be broken… 'cause

I'm mending my own wings
'Cause I'm mending my own wings
