When I was six I looked up to you Such love in my voice, "I want to fly daddy." So I glued a few feathers To one of your shirts I swung my arms as hard as I could, "Get away from me child." When I was thirteen I started to fear you "I have to fly daddy." So I took a few pills My boyfriend slipped me "These will make you high" But they didn't daddy. You just called me a failure and drank with Jack But now I'm fifteen dad. And I'm tired of you. So I stand at the top of this precipice And swing my arms like a six year old " Hey Daddy. I can fly"

I can fly
When I was six I looked up to you Such love in my voice, "I want to fly daddy." So I glued a few feathers To one of your shirts I swung my arms as hard as I could, "Get away from me child." When I was thirteen I started to fear you "I have to fly daddy." So I took a few pills My boyfriend slipped me "These will make you high" But they didn't daddy. You just called me a failure and drank with Jack But now I'm fifteen dad. And I'm tired of you. So I stand at the top of this precipice And swing my arms like a six year old " Hey Daddy. I can fly"
This is not a true story.
