[Avril Lavigne - Birdie lyrics]
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
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
