Clipped wings, I was a broken thing
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not sing
You'd worn me down
I struggled on the ground
(Oh) So lost, the line had been crossed
Had a voice, had a voice but I could not talk
You held me down
Struggle to fly now
(Oh) but there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, but we cannot deny
Eats us alive, it eats us alive
(Oh) yes, there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die (yeah)
And I don't care if I sing off key
I found myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I shout it out like a bird set free
I don't care if I sing off key
I found myself in my melodies
I sing for love, I sing for me
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
Now I fly, hit the high notes
Have a voice, have a voice, hear me roar tonight
Yeah you held me down, but I fought back loud, (oh)
There's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, but we cannot deny
It eats us alive, it eats us alive, (oh)
There's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, but I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die
So, and I don't care if I sing off key
I found myself in this melody
I sing for love, I sing for me
I shout it out like a bird set free
I don't care if I sing off key
I found myself in this melody
I sing for love, I sing for me
I'll shout it out like a bird set free (ooh)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
I'll shout it out like a bird set free (ooh)
