Always Me
© A. Zoli & M. Hart 2014 (ASCAP)
You can't pin down the wings of a man who was born to fly
So silly girl why'd you even try?
You gotta let him go
He was born and bred for bigger things
And you were foolish as ever to even believe you could hang on
You gotta let him go
Watch him take flight
But I thought he was a rolling stone
There wasn't anyone could take him home
And nail him down to the floorboards and make him stay
Yeah I thought he was a rambling man
A bottle full with a heavy hand
But now I see
It wasn't the freedom
It was just me
It was always me
It was always me
If I could dig up all the roots we laid and let him pass me by
Then I'd have never learned the reasons why
I had to let him go
Had to believe it with my own eyes
I couldn't see the disaster inside the disguise that he wore so well
So I let him go
Out of my life
Yeah I thought he was a rolling stone
There wasn't anyone could take him home
And nail him down to the floorboards and make him stay
Yeah I thought he was a rambling man
A bottle full with a heavy hand
But now I see
It wasn't the freedom
It was just me
It was always me
I bet you, he's down there, lying in waiting
For the other shoe to fall and me to come back running
But I won't, cause I can't
I'll be damned if I let him get the rest of me
He already took the best of me
Cause I thought he was a rolling stone
There wasn't anyone could take him home
And nail him down to the floorboards and make him stay
Yeah he'll always be a rambling man
A bottle full with a heavy hand
But now I see
It wasn't the freedom
It wasn't me
It was never me
It was never me
It was never me
