Hi guys :)

This is my favourite song I've ever written. It's about growing apart from someone you used to be best friends with and I'm honestly just so proud of it. I finished it like three hours ago lol and it took quite a while to write because I was researching flower symbolism because I just love using colours and flowers as symbols for emotions.

VERSE 1:

The memories are tattooed on my brain,

Marking me like the bruises I obtained,

Trying to fight for you.

VERSE 2:

Still see the shining web of tears we spun,

Cried about everything under the sun,

'Til our eyes were bled dry.

PRE-CHORUS 1:

And we were running through the fields of sapphire morning glory,

I didn't think this page would be the end of the story.

CHORUS:

I had angel wings,

I was shot down by an arrow carried on the wind,

And you stood by forgetting 'bout the little things,

You walked away enamoured by the golden string,

Leading you,

Away from me.

VERSE 3:

Now your mind is a secret enigma,

I used to have the code and every formula,

To your padlocked mind.

VERSE 4:

But now you are light-years away from here,

The castle we built and I still hold dear,

Cannons will not break it down.

PRE-CHORUS 2:

And belladonna will never poison these precious memories,

And neither will your painted blue butterfly weed.

CHORUS:

'Cause you gave me angel wings,

I was shot down by an arrow carried on the wind,

And you stood by forgetting 'bout the little things,

You walked away enamoured by the golden string,

Leading you,

Away from me.

BRIDGE:

Paper hearts burn when you strike a match,

When you light a fire they tend to catch,

You found your better people,

And next to them I'll never be equal,

But I still remember it today,

You turned what once was grey,

Into a sprawling forest of oak,

I didn't smell the smoke,

Until it all went up in flames,

We played our foolish games,

But the fun is over now,

It's over now.

CHORUS:

I had angel wings,

I was shot down by an arrow carried on the wind,

And you stood by forgetting 'bout the little things,

You walked away enamoured by the golden string,

Leading you,

Away from me.

OUTRO: (idk why I've suddenly started with outros lmao, I've never really done them before)

So I'll fly away from here,

I'll ride the breeze until I find a place I feel at home,

And if by chance you happen to appear,

I'll ask you how you've been,

But you won't ask it back,

My wings are broken and tattered now,

But I'll patch them up in time,

I just hope that it was worth it.

I hope you liked that :) I'm super proud of this one so I really hope you did !
