[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
I hate to be alone
But I'd rather be alone
When I'm not alone
I've spent so many years
Lookin' in the mirror
Just tryna see myself
[Pre-Chorus]
Wish I could say
I've never flown away
From somebody that needed me
But wings can't slow down
When they're drownin' out
All the fear inside of me
[Chorus]
Wish I was like my father
As steady as a lion
Or a little more like my mother
As patient as the sky
I'm more like a hummingbird
With a restless heartbeat
Every time I get where I'm goin'
The first thing I wanna do is leave
[Verse 2]
A songbird in a tree
So simple and so sweet
Wouldn't that be easy?
Find a place to rest
Be done with discontent
Sometimes, I wish I could be
[Chorus]
A little more like my father
As steady as a lion
Or a little more like my mother
As patient as the sky
I'm more like a hummingbird
With a restless heartbeat
Every time I get where I'm goin'
The first thing I wanna do is leave
[Post-Chorus]
Mm
Ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
Wish I could say
I've never flown away
From somebody that needed me (Somebody that needed me)
But wings can't slow down
When they're drownin' out
All the fear inside of me
[Chorus]
Wish I was like my father
As steady as a lion
Or a little more like my mother
As patient as the sky
I'm more like a hummingbird
With a restless heartbeat
Every time I get where I'm goin'
The first thing I wanna do is leave
[Outro]
(Ooh, mm)
(Ooh, mm)
Ooh (Ooh, mm)
Ooh (Ooh, mm)
Ooh (Ooh, mm)
(Ooh)
