Fly Me Away

My eyes close and the war begins
Between myself and the others
Whoever the others are, that's for me to know
Cos I can't say for fear of rejection
But that's me to a T really
Always having a fear
No matter what it is, it consumes me

The brokenness within me
Surfaces when I am near you
As you dig deep into my shell
I try to run and hide
But you find me again
And I cry "please, my wings, fly me away"

But you hold me, comfort me
Tell me it's what you're there to do
And I calm
You take away my fear
Though replacing it with another
And I cry "please, my wings, fly me away"
To you
