I guess I'll spread my wings

Bye-bye baby, I'ma fly away
Sunshine's callin' to a brighter day
Gettin' kinda tired of the games you play
so I guess I'll spread my wings and be on my way

I knew love at first sight on that starry night
as the light of the moon shined your eyes so bright
and never did I ever think I even had a chance
until you passed those other boys and you asked me to dance
So erotic, so exotic, you were groovin' to the flow
like a hypnotic narcotic and I could never let you go
and when you asked if you could stay it straight blew my mind
because a woman like you I knew I'd never find
Together forever, we would never be apart
and I needed you in my home like I needed you in my heart
You were all I ever wanted, all I'd ever need
but little did I know how you would make my heart bleed

Bye-bye baby, I'ma fly away
Sunshine's callin' to a brighter day
Gettin' kinda tired of the games you play
so I guess I'll spread my wings and be on my way

I knew that it was true that in the back of your mind
I wasn't good enough for you and you would leave me behind
and if I could travel back in time, if I could somehow rewind
I'd be reminded of the times you had me crying blind
I finally found true love, but love never found me
and my heart was so blinded that I never did see
while I was always home alone livin' my fantasy
you'd be out and about in other company
It wouldn't have made a difference, girl, even had I known
because those lonely weekend nights when I was home all alone
and you didn't return my texts and you wouldn't answer your phone
I waited on my own, for your love, like a stone

Bye-bye baby, I'ma fly away
Sunshine's callin' to a brighter day
Gettin' kinda tired of the games you play
so I guess I'll spread my wings and be on my way

I knew that I could never love another again
so I backed up, packed up, right there and right then
and headed out west so I could find my life
because I lost my mind the day I lost my wife
I even lost my heart, my love and my soul
and on my dark and lonely road I started losing control
I can't take it all back, but if I could, I would
and I hope you understand, and I wasn't misunderstood
"Together...Forever...'Til death do us part..."
now I'm dying from a war that finally tore my heart apart
Departing on a trip from which there's no coming back
tranquil tranquilizers and a bottle of Jack

Bye-bye baby, I'ma fly away
Sunshine's callin' to a brighter day
Gettin' kinda tired of the games you play
so I guess I'll spread my wings and be on my way

I felt the car skid hard for a couple hundred feet
before going airborne at the end of the street
In my drug-induced state, I instinctively hit the brakes
When survival kicks in, I guess we'll do whatever it takes
I didn't wanna die, I didn't wanna say goodbye
and as the car started rolling I was starting to die
I let my past dictate my present as my future was no more
and now I wanted life like I never did before
The last thing I remember I barely remember at all
There was a calm, soothing voice..."I will never let you fall"
"I will never let you down, and I will never leave your side"
The Lord breathed into me life...on the day I should have died

The difference between life and death is but a breath...
