ONCE I HAD WINGS

I was so in love with you I'd wear wings made of love From joy, I'd fly to you I'd spin around you like a moth My eyes would laugh and they'd shine bright They'd search for you, both day and night Since you left, they've lost their glow No light, no spark, just endless woe Once I had wings 'Til you tore them apart Once I had eyes that smiled 'Til you filled them with dark Once I had words 'Til you buried them deep Once there was love inside me 'Til you killed it in me My words were filled with love from my heart Each word I spoke was meant for you from the start But now where those words once lay Only emptiness and darkness stayed I died the day that you left me My body became a grave to my soul, you see Though the memories still live on Like everything else, they'll fade and be gone Once I had wings 'Til you tore them apart Once I had eyes that smiled 'Til you filled them with dark Once I had words, 'Til you buried them deep. Once there was love inside me, 'Til you killed it in me Once I had wings 'Til you tore them apart Once I had eyes that smiled 'Til you filled them with dark Once I had words 'Til you buried them deep Once there was love inside me 'Til you killed it in me
