I'll Fly Away
Louise Lyrics

Fly away, gonna fly away
The singer wishes to escape from the current situation and make a fresh start

Fly away, gonna fly away baby
The singer wants to leave with their partner to start anew

Boy let's talk about
The singer wants to have a conversation with their partner

All the things that change because
The artist wants to discuss the changes that have occurred in their relationship

I can see the pain in your eyes
The artist can sense the emotional pain their partner is feeling

Oh baby
The singer is addressing their partner affectionately

Why pretend it's real
The singer questions the authenticity of their relationship

'Cause I see how you really feel
The artist acknowledges that their partner's actions do not reflect their true feelings

Ain't no point in living with lies
The artist believes that living a lie is not worthwhile

It's the heart that's in love
The artist believes that true love is a matter of the heart

In the dawn, can't you see my love
The singer's love for their partner is still present despite the difficulties they face

And I'm just so tired of being
The artist is exhausted from trying to make the relationship work

Strong (so strong)
The singer has been trying to be strong for too long and cannot continue

On and on
The singer feels like they have been dealing with the same issues for too long

'Cause if you love me
The singer's partner's actions seem contrary to their professed love

Like you say you did
The artist challenges their partner to show their love through their actions

You'd tell me I'm wrong
The artist wants their partner to be honest with them, even if it is difficult

I know it's hard for me to say
The singer is struggling to express their true feelings

I just can't sleep this life away
The singer cannot ignore the problems in their relationship and live in denial

We slip further everyday
The relationship is deteriorating over time

I long that we fly away
The artist wishes to leave the current situation and start anew

Because we can't seem to change things
The artist feels like they are stuck in their current situation and cannot improve it

Just touching like strangers
The singer and their partner have grown distant and the relationship lacks intimacy

And you've got the key, please let me fly away
The artist believes that their partner has the power to help them leave the situation and start anew

Boy don't talk about
The singer wants their partner to stop making excuses for their problems

Reasons just to work it out
The singer believes that their partner is trying to justify staying in a relationship that is not working

Heaven must be passing us by
The singer believes that their lives are missing out on happiness and joy

I just came to see
The artist has come to a realization

This love just ain't meant to be
The artist believes that the relationship is not meant to last

Some things don't get better with time
The singer believes that the problems in their relationship will not improve over time

Because Mamma would say
The singer is referencing advice given by their mother

'Child you've got to hold to love'
The artist's mother advised them to hold onto love

She couldn't dream it slipped away
The artist's mother could never imagine their love slipping away

I'm happy to say
The artist is glad to report something positive

'Cause there's someone I just gotta be
The singer believes that they need to be true to themselves and their identity

But you won't let me change
The artist's partner is preventing them from making positive changes in their life

Love left long ago
The love in the relationship has been gone for a long time

And I can't find the words to fit anymore
The singer is struggling to express their feelings and cannot find the right words

So why can't we fly
The singer is questioning why they cannot leave their current situation and start anew

And I'll carry on
The artist is determined to keep going even without their partner

I'll make it baby all on my own
The artist is confident that they can succeed without their partner
