i was high

like a kite you pulled me through

when you ran

i followed you



clipped at the wings

you held all my strings

i was taught

but never learned a thing



is it any wonder

i came crashing down

when i did i hit solid ground

was it all a blunder

or were all those years i spent

head in clouds heaven sent



gotta learn to walk

before you run

you flew before you

learned either one



now you're gone, you're gone

now you're gone, you're gone



tangled in you

i aimed for the wild blue

when i hit the ground

what a bitter earth i found



kites without strings

fly on to bigger things

but you brought me down

you were determined,

i was bound



you can't fly away

from who you are

you tried and you

drifted way too far



now you're gone, you're gone

now you're gone, you're gone



flying on the ground

is always wrong

i let it go but you kept holding on



now you're gone, you're gone

now you're gone, you're gone

now you're gone, you're gone

now you're gone, you're gone
