verse 1 I was born come on the break of spring Mama told me i got joy to bring But i got something buried in my soul Nothing ever seemed to make me whole I got on my knees and learned to pray God, if you're the one then i will stay But i was given wings to fly away I keep my word as long as i'm okay So tell me what it means my fingers on the strings I'm praying i got something worth the breath it takes to say And i don't understand why i should get the chance While in my dreams my teeth are crumbling out into my hands When i can't earn this plan verse 2 I wish that i were better at goodbyes I don't connect with what would make you cry I guess there's something different in my head But i'll pretend i understand instead You think i found a place where i belong But nothing keeps me rooted here for long I'd rather travel to a stranger place Then recognized as a familiar face So tell me what it means my fingers on the strings I'm praying i got something worth the breath it takes to say And i don't understand why i should get the chance While in my dreams my teeth are crumbling out into my hands When i can't earn this plan Bridge I i i i When i can't earn this plan I i i-i And i don't understand I i i-i Why i should get this chance I i i-i verse 3 I'm afraid of running out of days Tell me everything will be okay I think i am better on my own But mama i'm afraid to die alone
