Fly Away

I tried to tell you where I was
I'm fragile, trust is fragile

You said you knew just how it went
you'd be careful, very careful

How could I think you'd hurt me still,
with all I've known of the past I knew you would
I said "you will"

but step by step this frightened bird
took one crumb at a time toward you
cautious first
sit and wait to see what you would do

impatient you, threw your hand
and frightened off what little trust

this little bird knows the cost
and knows just what that means

I fly away
