Verse 1. She told me how her dreams were shattered, what was goin’ on,
She took me deep inside her heart,
She hoped her pain would help me write a song, my angel girl,
Here’s what she said, the most important part.
Chorus 1. I’m gonna spread my wings for me, and fly away,
I’m gonna shed those picture perfect lies today,
I’m gonna spread my wings, ain’t your pretty pawn to play,
I’m gonna live my life for me, ain’t no other way.
Verse 2. I’m just a pretty prop in a fiction film called “Happy Family,”
I wear a smile but I hurt like hell,
And when I try to be the real me, nobody seems to care at all,
And yet they think they know me well.
Chorus 2. I’m gonna spread my wings for me, and fly away,
I’m gonna shed those picture perfect lies today,
I’m gonna spread my wings, ain’t your pretty pawn to play,
I’m gonna live my life for me, ain’t no other way.
Verse 3. Nobody gives a damn about the things I wanna say,
Nobody sees the pain I’m goin’ through,
And how the hell can I stand up for myself when I care so much for them,
My tears would drown me if I didn’t have you.
Chorus 3 & Tag. I’m gonna spread my wings for me, and fly away,
I’m gonna shed those picture perfect lies today,
I’m gonna spread my wings, ain’t your pretty pawn to play,
I’m gonna live my life for me, ain’t no other way.
I’m gonna spread my wings for me, and fly away,
I’m gonna shed those picture perfect lies today,
I’m gonna spread my wings, ain’t your pretty pawn to play,
I’m gonna live my life for me, ain’t no other way.
Gonna live my life for me, ain’t no other way.
