Verse 1
If my heart had wings, I’d say goodbye
To this broken ground and the heavy sky
I’d rise above the noise that stings
All the cruel and quiet things
I’ve been drowning in my own reflection
Fighting wars with no direction
Self-hatred’s a drug I know too well
A poison dressed like a wishing well
Pre-Chorus
There’s so much love around my name
But when it comes to me, it’s not the same
Chorus
If my heart had wings, I’d fly away
Past the dark of every day
Through the clouds of doubt and shame
Far from the echo of my name
I’d chase the light I’ve never felt
Escape the war inside myself
If my heart had wings, I’d rise above—
‘Cause I’ve got so much in my life to love
But I’m not one of them… not yet
Verse 2
I see the beauty in every face
Find the worth in every place
I’d fight for them without a shield
But I lay down when it’s my field
I built a throne for everyone else
Left myself out in the cold for help
I know the truth, I’d say it proud—
But mine gets lost when said out loud
Pre-Chorus
Still something in me softly sings
Beneath the weight of broken wings
Chorus
If my heart had wings, I’d fly away
But maybe I don’t need to stray
Maybe heaven’s not above
Maybe it’s learning to call me “love”
Maybe the sky I’m meant to find
Is mercy in my own mind
If my heart had wings, they’d start
Right here inside this beating heart
Bridge
What if the world I so despise
Is just the mirror of my eyes?
What if the flight I ache to take
Is choosing not to let me break?
Self-hatred whispers, “Disappear.”
But love is louder when I hear
The quiet truth beneath the pain:
I am not something to disdain.
Final Chorus
If my heart has wings, they grow
Every time they let me know
I’m worth the air, I’m worth the sky
I don’t have to say goodbye
The heavens aren’t so far above—
They start the day I choose self-love
If my heart has wings, I see…
Maybe they were always me.
