Pretty Wings (Uncut) - Maxwell

I loved you enough to let you go
but still you stood
casting shadows over my plans to
press on from this place to that which
doesn't even allow me to remember
your name and still all the same
just get me someplace
where neither of us can
point fingers or place blame

please

tell your heart that
your soul spoke with
my spirit and said so
bout us having to move on
and jut give me your blessings
to release all these feelings
I been repressing
waiting on you to stop second guessing
and believe in me
like I do to the man that
I see

but that day never came
and even though you still know my name
of what I am thinking I
feel ashamed
because I want you back too
only thing is I can't say so
without losing face in front of
a bunch of other people I told
I had let you go for good this time
so I gotta be what looks like cold
and miss you in silence
where no one can hear
call your name alone
when I'm finally in the zone
on my way out of this mess
promising myself to never again digress
cause what I've been and will be
isn't defined by what you did
or didn't see
just happened to be a perspective
I could offer for free

and I'm so ready to go
where the missing is mutual
the kisses mean something
and if we lay down it ain't a dumb thing
but that don't seem to be the case

so if you see him
tell him I love him
and if he don't believe you
tell him to call my phone
and take a look at my face

cause I had to once again
restore me by only to lean upon
my faith
