If I Could Only Fly

If I Could Only Fly

Verse 1

Life seems to be passing me by

at every waking moment

Sometimes I feel like I do not exist at all

I waste too much time thinking about yesterday

My mind is cluttered with so many things

I lose track of what I have to do

My heart is racing

I just need a moment to breathe

Verse 2

I'm not even close to being relatively happy

I can't recall when I last smiled

How sad is that?

I'm not even close to being relatively peaceful

I can't recall the last time

I didn't feel angry

I want to let go of these bitter feelings

Bridge

It would be gratifying

If all my worries would cease

It would be wonderful

If I could enjoy life

It would be fulfilling

If I could learn to love myself

It would be great to become the new me

Chorus 

If I could only fly

I would fly far, far away

Leave everything behind

That has caused so much pain

I would start a brand new life

Change my name and identity

I would be proud of myself

If I could only fly

Then my dreams would come true
