Ribbons

I'm sitting pretty and I don't know why I found somebody, said he'd make me fly Wrapped me up in ribbons then he left me to die Wrapped me up in ribbons then he left me to die Told me he'd hold me 'til there was no more Told me that he'd love me from the top to the floor Wrapped me up in ribbons then he went for the door Wrapped me up in ribbons then he went for the door All the time he takes are the words that he breaks All the time he takes are the words that he breaks 'Cause I'm not flying I'm not flying am I I'm not flying so damn high in the sky I'm not flying I'm not flying am I I'm not flying am I You look so pretty in the dark of night But I'm getting wise in the early light I can see you falling like a homemade kite I can see you falling like a homemade kite You put your Sunday best on for us all Painting up a promise that you know will fall Wrap me in your ribbons tie me to the wall Wrap me in your ribbons tie me to the wall All the time he takes are the words that he breaks All the time he takes are the words that he breaks 'Cause I'm not flying I'm not flying am I I'm not flying so damn high in the sky I'm not flying I'm not flying am I I'm not flying am I You walk on everybody You walk on everyone You walk right up and you ask me to dance You ask me to dance You ask me to dance then you walk away No I'm not flying am I I'm not flying so damn high No I'm not flying I'm not flying am I I'm not flying No I'm not flying am I I'm not flying am I --- Ribbons - Ingrid Michaelson
