[Verse 1]
Some days I wake up tired
Like I’ve already run a race
Before the world even says hello
I’m already out of place
They say I seem so normal
But it’s work just to pretend
I keep a smile for strangers
And break alone again


[Chorus]
If I had wings, I’d fly away
Somewhere the noise can’t reach the day
Where I don’t have to hide what I feel inside
Where I can just exist and stay
If I had wings… I’d fly away.


[Verse 2]
I count the lights on ceilings
I echo words like prayers
I wish I didn’t flinch so much
From the way the world just stares
It’s not that I don’t love you
I just don’t know how to show
The love that lives so loud in me
In a way you’d ever know


[Chorus]
If I had wings, I’d fly away
To where the silence feels okay
Where stimming isn’t strange, and time can rearrange
Into soft and gentle gray
If I had wings… I’d fly away.


[Bridge]
I’m not broken—I’m just wired
In a way the world forgets to see
But I still feel it all so deeply
Even if it doesn’t show in me


[Final Chorus]
If I had wings, I’d fly but not to flee—
I’d find a sky that lets me be.
Where I don’t have to choose between quiet and true,
Where someone might just understand me.
If I had wings… I’d still be me.

“I just want to be — me …!”
