Time will bring the real end of our trial
One day they'll be no remnants
No trace, no residual feelings within ya
One day you won't remember me

Your face will be the reason I smile
But I will not see what I cannot have forever
I'll always love ya, I hope you feel the same

Oh you played me dirty, your game was so bad
You toyed with my affliction
Had to fill out my prescription
Found the remedy, I had to set you free

Away from me
To see clearly the way that love can be
When you are not with me
I had to leave, I have to live
I had to lead, I had to live

If I can't have you, let love set you free
To fly your pretty wings around
Pretty wings, your pretty wings
Your pretty wings, pretty wings around

I came wrong you were right
Transformed your love into like
Baby believe me; I'm sorry I told you lies
I turned day into night
Sleep till I die a thousand times
I should've showed you
Better nights, better times
Better days, I miss you more and more

If I can't have you
Let love set you free
To fly your pretty wings around

Pretty wings, your pretty wings, your
Pretty wings, your pretty wings around.

Pretty wings, your pretty wings, your
Pretty wings, your pretty wings around

Pretty wings, pretty wings
Pretty wings, pretty wings
Pretty wings around

Pretty wings, your pretty wings around
Pretty wings, your pretty wings around
Pretty wings, your pretty wings around
Pretty wings, your pretty wings around
Pretty wings, your pretty wings around
Pretty wings, your pretty wings around
Pretty wings, your pretty wings around

    General Comment:He was blaming her for leaving, but yet he still misses her. "Prescription" meaning how he have to deal with the fact that she left. He wants to be with her forever, and wants her to come back because he had realized his mistakes, but if she doesn't come back, he wishes her the best and to find the love that she deserved.

    General Comment:i think that the song is about a guy that loves a girl that mis-treats him. so he dumps her but deep down he still loves her anyway, even though they are not together anymore his mind keeps rolling back to pain he endured in the relationship...

    General Comment:This song is really nice. It's about a boy who is in love with a woman, but he doesn't have enough time for her, and he doesn't want to waste her time so he sets her free in the world so she can live her life to the fullest and find true love.

    General Comment:this song is so much of what i'm going through i thought i loved him and i thought he felt the same way but the truth is that we didn't really have those feelings for each other not now. so i had to let him go even though he is a great guy i just can't love him because he wasn't the right guy for me and i guess he probably felt the same way Maxwell feels in this song. it's just the wrong timimg. makes me wanna cry but not really i had to let go of what wasn't mine. kind corny but watever

    General Comment:I think this song is about a girl showing him what real love is all about which is something he is either not familiar with or not ready for in his life as in the quote, "You played me dirty, your game was so bad, You toyed with my affliction, had to fill out my prescription for the remedy." The prescription is to set her free for someone who can love her right and treat her right.

    General Comment:She can offer more than he can right now. He met her and fell in love. She is beautiful and perfect in his eyes. But he can't be with her right now. He might not be ready, or he has something he's "stuck" with (career, family, wife, etc). He let her fall deep in love as well, and he knows its going to hurt both of them but he had to draw the line and let her go
