Flying Solo
I'm empty on the inside
All cold and dead,
With a heart of lead
Standing alone
I long for a place,
For my heart to own
This world is mine,
Or so I was told
Not that it matters,
'Cos I'm flying solo,
Flying solo, flying solo
Yeah, yeah, ohh yeah,
Flying solo
Atop this hill I stand,
A pinnacle of loss,
Of pain, of misery and fear
And all these things, yeah
Yeah, they are always near
I look out on the world
With my pain-filled eyes,
And I can see,
With my tortured soul
Each and every lie,
That I was ever told!
But it matters not!
'Cos I'm flying solo,
I'm flying solo,
I'm flying solo!
Yeah, yeah, ooh yeah!
'Cos I'm flying solo!
I take pride in my strength!
In my courage,
And my hope filled heart!
Because this isn't the end,
It's just the start!
Just give me your time,
And I'll give you my heart!
And so I take my place
At the starting line,
Ready to run this race!
'Cos it's MY life!
My race!
My time!
Oh yeah,
Oh yeah, yeahh
'Cos it's all about learning to fly,
Learning to live,
Learning to love,
And learning to dieee
With grace...
This is a race, a race!
This is a race, a race!
This is a race, it's a race!
This is a race, a race!
This is a race, a race!
This is a race, it's a race!
It's a race against time!
And it's my fucking time!
To live,
To learn,
To love,
To lose, and to die!
'Cos I'm flying solo,
Yeah I'm flying solo,
I'm flying solo!
Flying solo!
Yeah! Yeah, ohh yeahh!
I'm flying solo
So take that step,
And open your eyes
Heal your heart,
And forgive the lies
Forget all off the pain,
And dry your eyes
Now lift up your arms
And spread your wings wide,
Leap out into the sky
And fly
All cold and dead,
With a heart of lead
Standing alone
I long for a place,
For my heart to own
This world is mine,
Or so I was told
Not that it matters,
'Cos I'm flying solo,
Flying solo, flying solo
Yeah, yeah, ohh yeah,
Flying solo
Atop this hill I stand,
A pinnacle of loss,
Of pain, of misery and fear
And all these things, yeah
Yeah, they are always near

'Cos I'm flying solo,
I'm flying solo,
I'm flying solo!
Yeah, yeah, ooh yeah!
'Cos I'm flying solo!
