"Taking Wing" (Original Song)

My first original song to use a guitar! :) I'm quite proud of it, but I made a few lyrical mistakes on the recording (on my own song! Horrible, isn't it?), so refer to the lyrics below if you want to make a cover. And please do. :)

Lyrics:

I love you.
I've found that you mean more to me
than living
There's something right about you that's
too perfect
to be a humble creature of this earth
and with you
I find that I come flying off the ground

and still I feel, I think, I know, that something is not right.
Why is this thing bothering my stupid little mind?
Your feet will never hit the ground, your eyes reflect the sky
Your life is just so beautiful, you have no need for mine.

And how then can I love you, when there's nothing I can do?
to make your perfect life for one a perfect little life for two
Now let me finish what I'll say before you make a sound
I feel that if I take your wing, I'll drag us to the ground

I miss you.
I've found that you meant more to me
than living.
I did deny the chance, now I'm
forgiving
for passing up what could have been
too perfect
You never said you loved me too

and still I feel, I think, I know, that something is not right.
Why is this thing bothering my stupid little mind?
I gave you up and now I know that life is not the same
Now more than countries far apart, my love has still remained

And how then can I love you, when there's nothing I can do?
to make your perfect life for one a perfect little life for two
Now let me finish what I'll say before you make a sound
I feel that if I take your wing, I'll drag us to the ground
down down

I've found you.
I know that you mean more to me
Than living
It took too many years, but now
Around you
I've found that now my life is just
too perfect
to give up 'till the day I die

and now I feel, I think, I know, that everything's alright
I promised I would love you still with all my might.
And then you went and told me, that you had loved me, too
And now I know through skies we'll fly, together shining blue.

And now then I can love you, when there's nothing they can do.
to make us live our lives apart, we never will be two.
Now let me finish what I'll say before you make a sound
I took your wing, you took mine, too, we'll never hit the ground.
