Once I purposefully held myself apart
Afraid of the emotions growing within my heart
Once I wanted to repulse any signs of trust between you and I
But now I'm lost without your touch, your love – never to fly

I feel so lonely now, more than I thought I could ever be
Just when I was ready to admit our love, willing to dream
I was snatched away because I couldn't see the other side
Of an offer that chained my heart to the ground – never to fly

"I miss you," I whisper into the night
Wish that just once I would let myself cry
If ever I would, it would be now, because inside
I am, mourning the fact that we're doomed to be apart – never to fly

I stare up into the sky, now blackened with only stars of light
What I wouldn't give to be by your side
But no, I'm chained here, and my heart begins to sigh
For I am so far away from you and doomed – never to fly
