"The Girl With Broken Wings" became the soundtrack for "The Sins Of The Past", Book 1 from the "Stronger Together" series.
Alongside this song, I'm going to tell you something about the person, to whom it's dedicated. Raquelle is the only character, who appears in all the books as the lead character, starting with "The Sins Of The Past" The fact that she was bullied at school associates her with Peter, the hero of the song "I'm Not A Freak", who also had to experience harsh bullying. And she and Natalia, the hero of the song "Hero Inside The Beauty", were partly inspired by me. So, I eventually got a kind, sweet, but headstrong enough young girl. Smart, educated, responsible... But she is too obsessed with her modeling career and has a desire to prove to the whole world that she is worth something, and she wants people to give her compliments and praise her again and again.
[Verse]
Time can’t heal, pain isn’t gone
I pretend to be brave and strong
Aiming to be in the spotlight
But crying in the darkest night
Nobody can see all my scars
That I have on my shattered heart
[Pre-Chorus]
People said I’d always be ugly
Being alone would be my destiny
They were laughing at all my dreams
Never supported and always teased
But I’ll prove that I’m worth somethin’
And they shouldn't have called me nothing
[Chorus]
I’m just a girl with broken wings
With a wounded soul, with tons of fears
Pretense has become my protection
A smile helps me hide the depression
It’s a shame I can’t be honest and true
Because I’m beaten black and blue
[Post-Chorus]
It’s been so many years
But I’m still the girl with broken wings
Oh, oh, oh, oh…
[Verse 2]
Years go by, but I’m still a fake
Gotta be bold and bite like a snake
Denying the rumors about me
And playing the good girl you see
Praise lifts me up to the sky
It gives me the strength to fly
[Pre-Chorus]
It costed a lot of tears and failures
I worked hard to teach all my haters
They’re gonna think before laughing
Before teasing, before slapping
I’ll prove that I’m worth somethin’
And they shouldn't have called me nothing
[Chorus]
I’m just a girl with broken wings
With a wounded soul, with tons of fears
Pretense has become my protection
A smile helps me hide the depression
It’s a shame I can’t be honest and true
Because I’m beaten black and blue
[Post-Chorus]
It’s been so many years
But I’m still the girl with broken wings
Oh, oh, oh, oh…
[Bridge]
The past is still holding me tight
Whispers come to me every night
Nothing can heal my broken heart
Nothing can treat my deep scars
[Breakdown]
But I just put on a wide smile
To shine and live my best life
[Chorus]
I’m just a girl with broken wings
With a wounded soul, with tons of fears
Pretense has become my protection
A smile helps me hide the depression
It’s a shame I can’t be honest and true
Because I’m beaten black and blue
[Post-Chorus]
It’s been so many years
But I’m still the girl with broken wings
Oh, oh, oh, oh…
[Outro]
The girl with broken wings
The girl with broken wings
The girl with broken wings
The girl with broken wings
Notes:
This is the cause of the psychological trauma that she got because of that school bullying that made her doubt her confidence and belief in her beauty. Nevertheless, Raquelle keeps her pain deep inside and talks about it only with her close people, while she pretends to be a strong, confident, and independent girl in public. She pretends that she is afraid of nothing, loves every little part of her, and does not care about her critics. And she gets madly irritated by the talk about having to get married and give birth to children. However, as long as the story goes on, Raquelle has to admit her weakness and the fact that she could act like an egoist in some situations. And she has to change her mind before it's too late not to push off the one, who came into her life like a hurricane, made her heart beat much faster, and woke up such wild emotions inside her that she had never ever felt before.
