Oh, breaking the wings of the b***erfly
Quit dreaming or die
For the hands of Father hurt so bad ... so bad
For the eyes of Mother look so sad ... so sad
For a lost soul fades to black ... to black ... to black
For the tears I'm holding back
For the truth that's left unsaid
For the voice inside your head
Break my wings
Break my wings
Break my wings
Break my wings
And breaking the wings of the swan
The fading star at dawn
For the clouds in the sky are painted grey today
For the hollow words the preachers say
For the wild wind blows them away
For a heart in agony
Break my wings
Break my wings
I don't believe in anything
I don't care for anything
I don't cling to anything
Break my wings
Break my wings
Break my wings
Break my ... my ...
I don't care for anything
I don't cling to anything
You broke my ...
You broke my ...
Why did you break my wings?
Yeah .. yeah
You stare through the windows of theworld
Watch the stars rise high
As you spend...
Spend your life wishing
Spend your whole life wishing
Take your head out of the clouds
Face up to the facts
Please don't waste our time ... we're waiting
Why did you break my wings?
You dream of a cruise around the world
On the seas of love
And you spend...
Spend your whole life wishing
Pave the way for all our desires
Leave your dreams behind
Don't you waste more time waiting
Why did you break my wings?
Chasing stars...
Shooting stars...
Chasing stars...
Chasing stars...
Shooting stars...
Chasing stars...
My chest is burning
An ache in my heart
Your vain ambitions
Have torn ... have torn me apart
You broke the wings of the b***erfly
Let all my dreams die
The hands of a father shouldn't hurt so bad
The eyes of a mother shouldn't look so sad
At her child
At her child
At a child
A child ... a child... a child... a child... a child... a child... a child... a child...
Time may be a healer
But no matter what you say
We try to hide our scars
From the harsh light of day
Trying to forgive you
For all you've said and done
May take a better man
Than the one I've become
The man I've become
The man I've become
You dimmed the light fantastic
With a flicker of your wrist
Now I watch my childhood's shadow
Disappear in the mist
I'll count infinitive numbers
Where the high skies meet the land
Drifting with the flow
Without sentiment
Without sentiment
I'm here with broken wings
I'm a man with broken wings
I'm a man with broken wings, yeah
I'm a man...
Oh, I'm a man...
I'm a man...
Oh, I'm a man...
I'm a man...
Oh, I'm a man...
Quit dreaming or die
