I’m counting on myself, to get out of this house, this hell you call a home? What a ******* joke. You’re never even here, and when you are, you're passed out on the kitchen floor. I’m not the type of girl, who wants to settle down, I’ll leave your heart behind in another town I’m not the type of bird, who flies home to a nest, every night until her timely death. If I were a bird, I’d fly far away, I’d never look back, never let myself stay In one place for long, because it gets boring And I’d rather be soaring high, like a swift in the sky, A thief in the night, but the only thing I'm stealing is my freedom now. And the only way I'll get it is to leave this town I don't have much time, I'm not planting seeds here Im just trying to fly.

If I Were A Bird
