I guess all I can really say
Is I wish I had known better
I wish I hadn't fallen so hard
Invested so much
Given my ****** beaten to hell heart
Away, so willingly.

But I have wings on my back
And I hope it breaks your heart
To see me forever imprinted on your ankle
I guess I'm sorry I couldn't be a perfect
Piece of lemon happiness
I'm sorry your mother made assumptions
Before even really knowing me
I'm sorry you are so young and foolish
But above all
I'm sorry you set me free.

But thank you, thank you
For the freedom
I know I'll be so glad in the end
Because the sun still shines
My hair grows longer
Opportunity wields and sings my name
So I fly out of my cage
Away from weakness
Our poetry just wasn't enough
You are right,

You weren't enough.
But I am.
