You've made up your mind
It was time
It was over
After we had come so far
But I think there's enough pieces of forgiveness
Somewhere in my broken heart

I would not have chosen the road you have taken
It has left us miles apart
Well I think I can still find a will to keep going
Somewhere in my broken heart

So fly
Go ahead and fly
Until you find out who you are
'Cause I
Will keep my love unspoken
Somewhere in my broken heart

I hope that in time
You will find what you longed for
Love that's written in the stars
And when you finally do
I think you'll see it
Somewhere in my broken heart

So fly
Go ahead and fly
Until you find out who you are
'Cause I
Will keep my love unspoken
Somewhere in my broken heart

I would not have chosen the road you have taken
It has left us miles apart
Well I think I can still find a will to keep going
Somewhere in my broken heart

Somewhere in my broken
Somewhere in my broken heart
