lyrics

You’re stronger than you know; I need you to be strong now
You may be soaring fast, but I’m quickly falling down
I know that you can’t hold the weight of you and I
So promise me one thing: you won’t watch me slip behind

And I will fall; fall for all those promises you kept
And I will fall; fall for always knowing what was best
And I will dive; dive out of the air, and down I’ll lay
But don’t cry, cause I’ve got only one thing left to say:
Little bird, I only hope you’ll fly away

The sky is growing small; too small to keep you in
Your dreams are much too tall, your patience far too thin
You’ve still got more to climb into the atmosphere
So take your hand from mine, and you can leave me here

And I will fall; fall for all those promises you kept
And I will fall; fall for always knowing what was best
And I will dive; dive out of the air, and down I’ll lay
But don’t cry, cause I’ve got only one thing left to say:
Little bird, I only hope you’ll fly away

So let me plunge to Earth, down by the ocean’s shore
But please don’t hesitate; don’t wait a second more
Once you know I have passed, just fly off towards the sun
Though we have ended here, your life has just begun

And I will fall; fall for promises you never kept
And I will fall; fall for never knowing what was best
And I will dive; dive out of the air, and down I’ll lay
But don’t cry, cause with my final breath you’ll hear me say,
"Little bird, I always knew you’d fly away"
