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
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
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
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
