Verse 1:

He'd known
How i felt since the first day
I'd always wanted more
An angel
Complete with white wings and purity
I was so naïve

Pre-chorus:

To think that he could ever give me what i need
Empty promises he never intended to keep

Chorus:

My wings
My protection
He set them both to doubt
One by one
He torn each feather out
Until i lay dying
My face toward the sky
Praying that some day again
I would fly

Verse 2:

Does he know
How i found out the truth
How i found out about her
He lied to me
After all of my warnings
About these shattered dreams

Pre-chorus:

Now i look at life in quite a different way
I feel like everyone's trying to take my love away

Chorus:

My wings
My protection
He set them both to doubt
One by one
He torn each feather out
Until i lay dying
My face toward the sky
Praying that some day again
I would fly

Bridge:

I hope that you realize
The weight of what you've done
Stole my innocence and ability to love
I thought you were heaven sent
Clearly i was wrong
How could you
My best friend with my best friend
All because of you
Now both are gone

Chorus:

My wings
My protection
You set them both to doubt
One by one
You torn each feather out
Until i lay dying
My face toward the sky
Praying that some day again
I would fly
