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 cant sing
~#**************#~
But I’ll buy you diamonds and ruby rings”
~#**************#~
Like a bird locked up in a cage
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
And how can I escape this place and go higher, higher?
~#**************#~
How can I avoid the flames from your fire, fire?
~#**************#~
And oh, you cant hold me down, no
~#**************#~
Oh, you cant pull me down
~#**************#~
So birdie, fly away (Higher, higher)
~#**************#~
So birdie, fly away (Higher, higher)
~#**************#~
So birdie, fly away
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
And how can I escape this place and go higher, higher?
~#**************#~
How can I avoid the flames from your fire, fire?
~#**************#~
And oh, you cant hold me down, no
~#**************#~
Oh, you cant pull me down
~#**************#~
So birdie, fly away (Higher, higher)
~#**************#~
So birdie, fly away (Higher, higher)
~#**************#~
So birdie, fly away
~#**************#~
[Bridge]
~#**************#~
I aint your prisoner
~#**************#~
You cant lock me up no more
~#**************#~
Ill show you what Im worth
~#**************#~
Take back what I deserve
~#**************#~
I ain’t your prisoner
~#**************#~
You can’t chain me down no more
~#**************#~
Goddamn, its gonna hurt
~#**************#~
So fly away, little bird
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
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 cant pull me down
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
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
