Birdie - Avril Lavigne

Like a bird locked up in a cage called love

He clipped her wings when she was born to fly

He said, «A pretty bird, you can’t sing

But I’ll buy you diamonds and ruby rings»

Like a bird locked up in a cage

And how can I escape 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 pull me down

So birdie, fly away (Higher, higher)

So birdie, fly away (Higher, higher)

So birdie, fly away

I’m tired of getting lost inside this maze all day

Your twisted words are getting to my head

I say, «And no more glasses and seein' stars

And no more bruises and battle scars»

Like a bird locked up in a cage

And how can I escape 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 pull me down

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

You can’t chain me down no more

Goddamn, it’s gonna hurt

So fly away, little bird

And how can I escape 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 pull me down

So birdie, fly away (Oh, oh, oh)

Can you hear me?

(Oh, oh, oh)

Are you listenin'?

(Oh, oh, oh)

Set me free, set me free (Oh, oh, oh)

Can you hear me?

(Oh, oh, oh)

Are you listenin'?

(Oh, oh, oh)

Set me free, set me free
