[Verse]
She got a fire in her eyes that burns my soul
A queen on the block
She makes me whole
But this life ain't soft
It's sharp like steel
And love ain't safe when you can't stay real
I got chains on my neck but not on my heart
Got dreams in my head that tear us apart
She deserves the stars
Not a fight for breath
But my love's a risk
It could lead to death
[Chorus]
I love her
Yeah
I love her
But I gotta let her go
The streets keep calling
They won't let me grow
I love her
Yeah
I love her
But I can't hold her hand
This ain't a fairytale
It’s a sinking land
[Verse 2]
She said she'd ride
But I see her tears
Every siren scream feeds all her fears
She waits up late
While I chase the smoke
Her dreams are dying
And I’m the joke
I see her smile fade like a setting sun
She’s losing herself
While I’m on the run
A bird in a cage ain’t what she needs
She gotta fly free
Away from my deeds
[Prechorus]
So I’ll walk away
Though it rips my chest
Let her find peace
Let her find her best
