Ribbons by Ingrid Michaelson Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 till there was no more
Told me he'd love me from the top to the floor
Wrapped me up in ribbons and then he left me to die
Wrapped me up in ribbons and then he left me to die

All the time he takes are the words that he breaks
All the time he takes are the words that he breaks

[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 2]
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 mein your ribbons, tie me to the wall
Wrap me in your ribbons, tie me to the wall

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
