Wings
FLORES Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lover to slave
Burning this page
I will cut out my tongue
Swear in your name

Boy I got a question for you
Did you love me once?
Throw my body down the river

I'll send a prayer for you

Oh Lord I've been searching for the answer
Need forgiveness, I think I might need a pastor

Thought I forgave you a long time ago (wings to let go)
It's hard to remember my love as well (let me go too)
Sorry you told me this so long ago (I'll give you wings)
(Fit for me too, too, too)

I pray he gives me wings to let go, go (if you let go)
I pray he gives me wings to let go, go baby (come let go)
I pray he gives me wings to let go, go (if you let go)
I pray he gives me wings to let go, baby (let go)

I turn to prey
Your heart cold games
I won't hold my breath
But we knew would chase [?]
Boy I still got questions for ya
Was she worth my love?
Guess it doesn't really matter now
I'll send a prayer for the both of you

Oh Lord, I've been searching for
The answer (searching for some answer)
Need forgiveness,
I think I might need a pastor (think I need a pastor)

Thought I forgave you a long time ago (wings to let go)
It's hard to remember my love as well (let me go too)
Sorry you told me this so long ago (I'll give you wings)
(Fit for me too, too, too)

I pray he gives me wings to let go, go (if you let go)
I pray he gives me wings to let go, go baby (come let go)
I pray he gives me wings to let go, go (if you let go)
I pray he gives me wings to let go, baby

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
If you let go
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I could let go
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
If you let go

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I could let go
