Avril Lavigne : The Lyric Book

Birdie

Written by: Avril Lavigne, J.R. Rotem

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 and 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 in this maze all day

Your twisted words are getting to my head

I say and no more glasses and seeing 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 and 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

God damn 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 and oh, you can't 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

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
