Pretty Wings (Uncut)
[Verse 1]
Time will bring the real end of our trial
One day there'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

[Chorus]
(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
[Verse 2]
I came wrong, you were right
Transformed your love into light
Baby, believe me, I'm sorry I told you lies

I turned day into night
Sleep 'til I died a thousand times
I should've showed you
Better nights, better times, better days
And I miss you more and more

[Chorus]
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)
So pretty wings, your pretty wings around
(Pretty wings, your pretty wings around)
Say pretty wings, oh pretty wings, yeah
Pretty wings, your pretty wings around

[Outro]
(Pretty wings, your pretty wings around)
Yeah ay- ay - ay
(Pretty wings, your pretty wings around)
Pretty pretty, pretty!
Someone better's gonna love you!
(Pretty wings, your pretty wings around)
Someone! Someone's gonna love you, baby
(Pretty wings, your pretty wings around)
Yeah oh ooh
(Pretty wings, your pretty wings around)
Pretty, pretty, pret-tay pret-tay-tay wings
(Pretty wings, your pretty wings around)
Ah yeah, pretty, whoa yeah ah
(Pretty wings your pretty wings around)
