Lyrics

I'm falling from the sky
We built out paradise too far away
And I can't fix these broken wings
While holding all the things
We never say

And I, I didn't want to come back down
And I, I see you shake your head
As I crash into the ground

And you say
Nothing's built to last forever
Not even suns or wings of feathers
Every triumph has an end
There's so much you don't comprehend
Nothing's built to last forever

I see you in the distance
An outline of the face I knew so well
And everyone keeps asking
Was it worth the distance that I fell

And I, I didn't want to come back down
But I, at least I had my time amongst the clouds

Because
Nothing's built to last forever
Not even suns or wings of feathers
Every triumph has an end
There's so much we don't comprehend
But does that mean we never try

I tried to fly but down I came
I tried to fly

Standing back it's easy
To judge a life we never knew
And they're so focused on my fall
That they forget I also flew
