Ooh, ooh

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

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

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

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

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

Mm
Ooh

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

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

(Ooh, mm)
(Ooh, mm)
Ooh (Ooh, mm)
Ooh (Ooh, mm)
Ooh (Ooh, mm)
(Ooh)
