Broken Wing
Album: Across the Frequency
Lyrics by Melissa Bianco
A reflective 1980s-inspired rock ballad with clean guitars, warm synths, and controlled, expressive female vocals, looking back on a relationship with regret and understanding.
Lyrics
He was the boy with bright blue eyes
An Escher soul in disguise
Humor and light – the tone I’d bring
I drew him in with songs I’d sing
His creative mind was pure and kind
Innocent trust, no hidden lines
That open heart was all it took
To bind his love, caught on my hook
Ooo I looked good on paper
Ooo other choices would be safer
My drama became the melody I’d sing
A songbird with a broken wing
My instincts were miswired, tuned by something else
I confused him while losing myself
I couldn’t find the right words
I never paused for reflection
I bent his heart with misdirection
My drama was the melody I’d sing
A songbird with a broken wing
My instincts were miswired, tuned by something else
I left him behind while chasing myself
He was caught in my story
I couldn’t get past my own ending
I flew away and left him stunned
Tried to return, but the moment was gone
Misguided, falling straight for earth
I had to land to recover my worth
He deserved better
