Clipped wings, i was a broken thing
Had a voice, had a voice but i could not sing
You would wind 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
I struggle to fly now, oh

But there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, we cannot deny
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive, oh
Yes, there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, but i don't wanna die, no
I don't wanna die, i don't wanna die, yeah

I'm not gon' care if i sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, i sing for me
I shout it out like a bird set free
No, i don't care if i sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, i sing for me
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free

Now i fly, hit the high notes
I have a voice, have a voice, hear me roar tonight
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, we cannot deny
Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive, oh
Yes, there's a scream inside that we all try to hide
We hold on so tight, but i don't wanna die, no
I don't wanna die, i don't wanna die, yeah

And i don't care if i sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, i sing for me
I shout it out like a bird set free
No, i don't care if i sing off key
I find myself in my melodies
I sing for love, i sing for me
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
I'll shout it out like a bird set free
