Lyrics

Like A Bird

[Verse 1]

You were like a bird

You flew away from me

Will you ever come back?

Will you ever come back to me?

[Pre-Chorus]

I thought I was all you adored

I don't know what you want anymore

[Chorus]

We were happy, we were good

When we're together the world stood

Still, I still wanna be with you

I still wanna be with you

[Verse 2]

You were like the snow

You fall down gently

All you do is freeze me, freeze me

[Pre-Chorus]

You left me out in the cold

The only thing you ever known

[Chorus]

We were happy, we were good

When we're together the world stood

Still, I still wanna be with you

I still wanna be with you

We were happy, we were good

When we're together the world stood

Still, I still wanna be with you

I still wanna be with you
