Yeah I grew up in a happy household
I learned that I do better living on my own
Did everything right, told I was wrong
So I locked myself in the office writing stupid songs (like this one)
So don't blame me, when I learned to set boundaries
And don't save me, now that I'm finally happy and free (hey!)
Like a little bird
Like a pilot taking flight
I can say any word
Be myself both day and night
I know I should have left the nest many years ago
I was held back, but now I'm ready, and I'm set, let's go
Life got real dark and nobody noticed
They thought I was just real focused on college
My life has changed so much 3 years since then
Already quit my job, got a man, and graduated
Don't start raining, on the parade of my dreams
Don't complain please, just leave me alone and let me be (hey!)
Like a little bird
Like a pilot taking flight
I can say any word
Be myself both day and night
I know I should have left the nest many years ago
I was held back, but now I'm ready, and I'm set, let's go
I get to, I get to choose
I just want, just want to move
I get to, I get to choose
Now just got, to cut me loose
(And fly away, fly)
Like a little bird
Like a pilot taking flight
I can say any word
Be myself both day and night
I know I should have left the nest many years ago
I was held back, but now I'm ready, and I'm set, little bird... let's go
