Lyrics
I'm Gonna Fly Away (That's A Shame)
I'm gonna fly away
I knew you'd break my heart
Although I saw it coming I couldn't break away
I'm gonna fly away
You tore my life apart
And took me for your dummy - just stay away
Because you had my heart in your hand
And you knew just how to break it
You proved you're less than a man
And you knew just how to fake it
You love 'em and you leave 'em
I know that must be your game - that's a shame
That's a shame
I'm gonna fly away
I knew you'd do me wrong
Although my eyes were open I couldn't stay away
I'm gonna fly away
You stole my happy song
And all that I was hoping - just go away
Because you had my heart in your hand
And you knew just how to break it
You proved you're less than a man
And you knew just how to fake it
You love 'em and you leave 'em
I know that must be your game - that's a shame
That's a shame
This crushed and broken dove - she still got wings
I don't have to put up with you
I don't have to lose all my dreams
I don't have to take all those things
You do over and over and over and over again
I'm gonna fly away
I knew you'd prove untrue
Although my heart could feel it I couldn't run away
I'm gonna fly away
You only thought of you
And used my love and killed it - just get away
Because you had my heart in your hand
And you knew just how to break it
You proved you're less than a man
And you knew just how to fake it
You love 'em and you leave 'em
I know that must be your game - that's a shame
That's a shame
I'm gonna fly away ...
