Birdie lyrics

Like a bird locked up in a cage called love

He cut the wings when she was born to fly

He said "oh pretty bird, you can't sing

But I buy you diamonds and ruby rings

Like a bird locked up in a cage

And how can I escape in this place

And go higher, higher?

How can I avoid the flames

From your fire, fire?

And oh, you can't hold me down, no

Oh, you can't fool me now

So birdie fly away (higher, higher)

So birdie fly away (Higher, higher)

So birdie fly away

I'm tired again and lost inside this maze, all day

Your twisted words are getting to my head

I say "and no more glasses and see our stars

And no more bruises and battle scars

Like a bird locked up in a cage

And how can I escape in this place

And go higher, higher?

How can I avoid the flames

From your fire, fire?

And oh, you can't hold me down, no

Oh, you can't fool me now

So birdie fly away (higher, higher)

So birdie fly away (Higher, higher)

So birdie fly away

I ain't your prisoner

You can't lock me up no more

I'll show you what I'm worth

Take back what I deserve

I ain't your prisoner

It can't chain me down no more

God damn, it's gonna hurt

So fly away, little bird

And how can I escape in this place

And go higher, higher?

How can I avoid the flames

From your fire, fire?

And oh, you can't hold me down, no

Oh, you can't fool me now

So birdie fly away (oh, oh, oh)

Can you hear me? (oh, oh, oh)

Are you listening? (oh, oh, oh)

Set me free, set me free (oh, oh, oh)

Can you hear me? (oh, oh, oh)

Are you listening? (oh, oh, oh)

Set me free, set me free
