Soar

You can't be hurt if you don't care You can't fall if you don't stare You can't find the future if you give up No one knows how someone else thinks The closest someone gets is listening to how their heart beats But listen to it break then fall apart Why did it fall apart? You can't see if you don't look You can't find what will be You won't be by her side if you give up now Looking back will you even ask why she's gone Will you miss her? Will you wish to have the heart that you could have won? If she doesn't soar without you, will you know that you clipped her wings? When with you did you know the gears in her head didn't have to turn She didn't have to think about what was wrong in the world She didn't have to know what to do. Because she was with you. In those moments she didn't have to think. She could let go for a moment. But then life changed, she doesn't understand You can't know how much she cared You won't know how broken she became With you she was safe With you the future wasn't so scary The gears in her head were calming down But then you decided you weren't for her Or was she not for you? She doesn't know Suddenly she wasn't safe, she was hurt, She'd fallen for you But you weren't going to be around for her the same way anymore Suddenly the world came crashing through She thought things were fine Do you miss her? You didn't tell her until the end Why didn't you talk to her? Was she not worth the fight? What happened? She doesn't know Will she ever understand? Time will tell, if she will fly If she will sing, if she will ever let her walls down Time will tell if her heart can mend.
