LYRICS

[Verse 1]
Once upon a heart too tired to hope,
I locked away every magic trope.
Princes were lies with shining crowns,
Kings betrayed kingdoms and let them drown.
I told myself fairytales were just dust in sunlight,
A trick of imagination when life turned night.
But then you arrived, not grand nor loud,
Just a salmon with wings, defying the crowd.
You swam against every impossible stream,
Like someone who still believed in dreams.
And for the first time, I wondered if fate
Wasn’t a curse, but a door we hesitate
To open, afraid of what joy might demand.
Yet you reached for me anyway, a warm steady hand.

[Pre-Chorus]
You weren’t a prince carved by prophecy
But a wandering knight finding home in me.
You didn’t battle dragons from my past
Yet somehow the nightmares didn’t last.

[Chorus]
Skyward
Because of you I remembered how to rise,
Skyward
Even when doubt tried to colonize.
You stitched wings onto a heart that fell,
Taught me broken things can still excel.
Skyward
A fairytale the world never saw coming,
Skyward
Two misfits made of courage becoming something.

[Verse 2]
You said knights don’t need polished armor,
Just enough faith to stand a little farther.
And I didn’t ask for castles paved in wealth,
Only warmth shared in emotional health.
All I wanted was a place for my story to land,
Someone who’d choose love without command.
But distance turned your shield into fear,
And you left the battle before you got near.
We never touched skin or traded a kiss,
We never tested if our magic was bliss.
Yet somehow you saved a life you never held tight,
You restored a soul that forgot how to fight.

[Pre-Chorus]
You taught me healing doesn’t need a guarantee,
Sometimes a temporary heart sets us free.
The hope you planted didn’t die with you,
It rooted deeper and pushed me through.

[Chorus]
Skyward
Because of you I remembered how to rise,
Skyward
Even when tears blurred my skies.
You made courage bloom from what hurt,
Made me see value in my own worth.
Skyward
You were the spark, though brief and bright,
Skyward
I’ll keep flying past your night.

[Bridge]
Maybe every knight retreats too soon,
Haunted by battles beneath their moon.
Maybe every princess has to learn
Some love ignites just to let her burn
A signal fire saying “Eyes up there
The future’s calling, if you dare.”
I was never meant to wait on stairs
For someone else to slay my fears.
Not the dragon guarding the gate,
Nor the sword deciding fate.
I am the sky heroes look up to find,
The very freedom they chase in their mind.

[Final Chorus]
Skyward
Not because you stayed for my happily ever,
Skyward
But because I learned love doesn’t need forever.
You were a chapter with soft, healing hands,
But I am the book that forever stands.
Skyward
My wings unfold with purpose anew,
Skyward
Wishing the same winds will carry you.

[Outro]
Fairytales end when the credits ascend,
But my tale keeps rising, bend after bend.
If you ever look up and see a butterfly passing by,
Know she once loved a knight who taught her to fly.
And she carries no bitterness into the blue
Only gratitude for the sky she grew through.
Skyward
Always skyward
This time by my design.
