Never wanted to hear you breaking words
My heart has exploded; I’m %100 sure
Never again will I have what I desire
My tears have lit my cheeks on fire
I thought she’d be the one to push my out
But, in the end, it’s all my fault
I’ve mentioned before that my bodies simply broken
I thought I’d never meet this side of myself again
My back puts me in pain each and every day
And I’m afraid to admit what I’m going to say
All I ever wanted was to come back and fly
But, today, I’m being made to tell gymnastics goodbye
