Wings of a Lie Lyrics by Starship

No Protection

1987

A close up of your soul is printed in your eyes
I know I've lost control, I'm getting close to paradise
Who knows to what I'm holding on
So many ways it can go wrong
And all my heart needs to know is it time to let go
My heart is where you are, I'll always trust in what you do
Your love will take me far, I'll only see the best in you
But what if you feel like movin' on
Leaving before the night is gone
All my heart needs to know is it time to let go
Oh that's all my heart needs to know
Chorus:
Don't let me fly on the wings of a lie
Don't you take me down easy
Don't let me guess if your eyes speak goodbyes
Heaven seems to be a place not meant for me
It's quiet round my heart, there's no need for empty words
Just let me go my way and leave before the silence hurts
There's always one more chance to take
There's always one more heart to break
All my heart needs to know is it time to let go
Is it time
All my heart needs to know
Don't let me fly on the wings of a lie
Don't you take me down easy
Don't lead me on if tonight means goodbye
Don't let me be the last to know
Wooo...
Someone's grip is always stronger
Someone cares just a little bit more
I'm holdin' on a little longer
Just a little, just a little bit more
Don't let me fly on the wings of a lie
Don't you take me down easy
Don't lead me on if tonight means goodbye
Don't let me guess if your eyes mean good thoughts
Oh baby don't let me fly
Don't let me fly
Don't let me down easy
