I can't face you in the state that you are in I can't be kind to you in the state that I am in I just wanted to let you know I don't know where I will end up But I know where I have to go
I'll be back when I've made it I'll be back when I've made it Pray that I'll make it before I die
I wish I could be kinder I wish I could be wiser I wish I could be who I need myself to be But I will surely never be Who you think I ought to be
Let me go Let me go I need to fly with these broken wings I can't fly if you hang on to me These wings used to carry many but now they can carry only one Let me go Let me go I will not bring you to your paradise I'm off to find my own
I might not be back, even when I've made it I might visit for only a short while, at most But first I have to find the lost places of my heart I'm letting myself go From duty And disappointment And anger And pain I'm letting go You'd best do the same Because what you're hanging on to isn't me It's and old ghost's shadow
I'm leaving that haunted house There is nothing for me to return to There is nothing for me there Where I'll end up I don't know But I know I have to go
