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 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 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

Im 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 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

I aint your prisoner
You cant lock me up no more
Ill show you what Im worth
Take back what I deserve
I aint your prisoner
You cant chain me down no more
God damn its 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 cant hold me down no
Oh you cant pull me down

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
