This Bird Has Flown

Someday I'll be so far away from all of you
 All this and spoken ridicule
 You'll never rule my life
 Like the way that you used to
 I find I am much better off out on my own
 Maybe a house but not a home
 You'll wake to find I've changed my mind
 I'm sorry but this bird has flown
 This bird has flown
 So let these fools run free
 To be the ones they want to be
 These chains, they're falling off all over me
 My friends, I hope you get to see
 That I don't need you, please
 And empty cold apologies
 Your friends just haven't been
 Real friends to me, it's time
 For me to spread my wings
 I feel fine and feeling fine is good enough
 I'm alone and though it may be rough
 I can't lie, I'm free to fly, I don't belong to anyone
 Had a friend and I put you on a pedestal
 I may be dumb but I'm no fool
 So keep your throne, it's all you want
 And all that you'll ever know
 This bird has flown
 So let these fools run free
 To be the ones they want to be
 These chains, they're falling off all over me
 My friends, I hope you get to see
 That I don't need you, please
 And empty cold apologies
 Your friends just haven't been
 Real friends to me, it's time
 For me to spread my wings
 ♪
 You will never be
 Able to exam me
 And clip these wings
 And I know that
 All that I can see
 Is the open sky
 In front of me
 ♪
 So let these fools run free
 To be the ones they want to be
 These chains, they're falling off all over me
 My friends, I hope you get to see
 That I don't need you, please
 And empty cold apologies
 Your friends just haven't been
 Real friends to me, it's time
 For me to spread my wings
