"Clipped Wings" lyrics

I question myself, wonder what I am doing to you
I love you to death, but I feel like I'm ruining you
Say it's not my fault, promise there's no way that could be true
Admit what you want, blame myself so you don't have to

When you're falling down and the dark comes 'round
I can't help but doubt that I help you out
When your tears fall down, will we come back 'round?
I can't help but doubt, I can't help you

Trying to fly
You can't get too high with those clipped wings
Tears in your eyes
As you force a smile and say it's alright

We both know it's not coincidental
When I feel low, I bring you down to my level
I watched your spark fade away after I met you
And it breaks my heart, will it be this way forever?
You blame it on the world, spare me your hatred
Point your finger at anything but me, and I hate it
I know I'm not the worst, don't mean to make you hurt but

When you're falling down and the dark comes 'round
I can't help but doubt that I help you out
When your tears fall down, will we come back 'round?
I can't help but doubt, I can't help you

Trying to fly
You can't get too high with those clipped wings
Tears in your eyes
As you force a smile and say it's alright
Chained to the ground, I pull you down
Trying to fly
You can't get too high with those clipped wings and I...

Am I right for you, are you right for me?
Do we give up now, do we keep trying?
Do I bring you down, can I lift you up?
Man, I try my best, is it good enough?
God help us both, neither one of us knows
Are we just afraid to be alone?
Do I bring you down, can I lift you up?
Man, I try my best, is it good enough?

Trying to fly
You can't get too high with those clipped wings
Tears in your eyes
As you force a smile and say it's alright
Chained to the ground, I pull you down
Trying to fly
You can't get too high with those clipped wings and I...
