  • Time will bring the real end of our trial
    One day they'll be no remnants
    No trace, no residual feelings within ya
    One day you won't remember me

    Your face will be the reason I smile
    But I will not see what I cannot have forever
    I'll always love ya, I hope you feel the same

    Oh you played me dirty, your game was so bad
    You toyed with my affliction
    Had to fill out my prescription
    Found the remedy, I had to set you free

    Away from me
    To see clearly the way that love can be
    When you are not with me
    I had to leave, I have to live
    I had to lead, I had to live

    If I can't have you, let love set you free
    To fly your pretty wings around
    Pretty wings, your pretty wings
    Your pretty wings, pretty wings around

    I came wrong you were right
    Transformed your love into like
    Baby believe me, I'm sorry I told you lies
    I turned day into night
    Sleep till I die a thousand times
    I should've showed you
    Better nights, better times
    Better days, I miss you more and more

    If I can't have you
    Let love set you free
    To fly your pretty wings around

    Pretty wings, your pretty wings, your
    Pretty wings, your pretty wings around.

    Pretty wings, your pretty wings, your
    Pretty wings, your pretty wings around

    Pretty wings, pretty wings
    Pretty wings, pretty wings
    Pretty wings around

    Pretty wings, your pretty wings around
    Pretty wings, your pretty wings around
    Pretty wings, your pretty wings around
    Pretty wings, your pretty wings around
    Pretty wings, your pretty wings around
    Pretty wings, your pretty wings around
    Pretty wings, your pretty wings around Writer/s: Hod David, Maxwell Menard
