Selfless Sacrifice

You go and give this heart its wings so it can fly Just to clip those very wings and watch me plummet from the sky Still, my heart it never falters or begins to ponder why For you a zillion deaths and more I would gladly die If it means you will be the ones to spread your wings and fly
