Birdie Lyrics

by Avril Lavigne

[Verse 1:]
Like a bird locked up in a cage called love
He cut the wings when she was born to fly
He said a pretty bird you can't sing
Bought a bath of diamonds of moving rings
Like a bird locked up in a cage

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e116250-avril_lavigne~birdie_lyrics.html ]
[Chorus:]
And how can I escape in this place
And go higher, higher
How can I avoid the flames
From your fire, fire

[Post-Chorus:]
And ohh, you can't hold me down no!
Ohh, you can't fool me now

[Refrain:]
So birdie fly away (Higher and higher)
So birdie fly away (Higher and higher)
So birdie fly away

[Verse 2:]
I'm tired again and lost inside this maze, all day
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

[Chorus:]
And how can I escape in this place
And go higher, higher
How can I avoid the flames
From your fire, fire

[Post-Chorus:]
And ohh, you can't hold me down no!
Ohh, you can't fool me now

[Refrain:]
So birdie fly away (Higher and higher)
So birdie fly away (Higher and higher)
So birdie fly away

[Bridge:]
I'm so prisoner
You can't lock me up no more
I'll show you what's the worst
Take back what I deserve
I ain't your prisoner
It can't chain me down no more
God damn it's gonna hurt
So fly away, little bird

[Chorus:]
And how can I escape in this place
And go higher, higher
How can I avoid the flames
From your fire, fire

[Post-Chorus:]
And ohh, you can't hold me down no!
Ohh, you can't fool me now

[Refrain:]
So birdie fly away
Oh, oh, oh, can you hear me?
Are you listening?
Set me free, set me free
Oh, oh, oh, can you hear me?
Are you listening?
Set me free, set me free
