Don't get me started on you now, you Austrian aristocrat.
Clip My Wings
You flash that knowing smile
And bat those eyes
But I know that all the while
You're manufacturing lies
You swear that you're always behind me
And on my side
But when the world is collapsing around me
It seems your promises die
The one that I love the most
Should'nt have to ask why
And right when I need you most
Right when I'm learning to fly
You clip my wings
I try to ignore your pretending
Your jealous gaze
But I'm tired of always defending
The way I live out my days
You know where to hit me to hurt me
To shoot me down
If only you'd turn and desert me
Then I could turn life around
The one that I love the most
Should'nt have to ask why
And right when I need you most
Right when I'm learning to fly
You clip my wings
Like an angel before my eyes
You descended one day
Pulled me back up on my feet
And promised me that you'd stay
But all those words are ringing
Hollow in my mind
You cripple me
And then expect me to be kind
You clip my wings
The one that I love the most
Should'nt have to ask why
And right when I need you most
Right when I'm learning to fly
You clip my wings.
