i was high   like a kite you pulled me through   when you ran   i followed you      clipped at the wings   you held all my strings   i was taught   but never learned a thing      is it any wonder   i came crashing down   when i did i hit solid ground   was it all a blunder   or were all those years i spent   head in clouds heaven sent      gotta learn to walk   before you run   you flew before you   learned either one      now you're gone, you're gone   now you're gone, you're gone      tangled in you   i aimed for the wild blue   when i hit the ground   what a bitter earth i found      kites without strings   fly on to bigger things   but you brought me down   you were determined,   i was bound      you can't fly away   from who you are   you tried and you   drifted way too far      now you're gone, you're gone   now you're gone, you're gone      flying on the ground   is always wrong   i let it go but you kept holding on      now you're gone, you're gone   now you're gone, you're gone   now you're gone, you're gone   now you're gone, you're gone
