Could've been the sunshine,
Hold it in your hands
Could've been the sunshine,
That you never had

Cause I'm just a bird, ooh,
In a vanished cage
If you're gonna let me down,
It's gonna be the hard way

Could've been the sweet sound,
Ringin' in your ears
Could've been the sweetest sound,
You forgot to listen

Cause I'm just a bird, ooh,
In a vanished cage
If you're gonna let me down,
It's gonna be the hard way

Could've been another,
Tryin' to hold you now
But I wont be the other clown,
Tryin' to make you happy

Cause I'm just a bird, ooh,
In a vanished cage
If you're gonna let me down,
It's gonna be the hard way
