D G
My wings are breaking

I'm forgetting how to

fly to you The wind keeps

Resisting against it Just

Sitting on the frozen moon

just Looking down on you

How much you really
mean to me

While childishly I wait to see

If he loves me or he loves me not

So carelessly I sing
my love to you Asking

where the stars have

gone?" But you refuse
to sing alone
[Chorus 2]
