Maybe I had to be angry to justify my leaving Leaving was a thing I had to do But not because of you Maybe I had to keep moving so I didn't fall to pieces Cause if I'm not moving forward then I'll only go back But it's there ever a right time to say to the one who helped me grow my wings that I'm gonna fly away I guess sometimes you know things long before they happened And I knew I wasn't living hard just hanging around I could blame my age or I could just say sorry cause if you mean that I don't think that sorry's ever too late But it's there ever a right time to say to the one who helped me grow my wings that I'm gonna fly away Fly, cause I've never seen the sky without you holding me up And I am forever grateful I'll be forever grateful But it's there ever a right time to say to the one who helped me grow my wings that I'm gonna fly away I had to fly away
