Analysis of Like a bird
“ Like a bird”
I feel like a bird that’
s broken
Damaged by all the bad i'
ve been through
I just want to fly away, start again
Sometimes i only feel trapped
Reluctant to make a move
i fear i'll fall
I can
't stand my conditions
So i hide
Sometimes i need you
Only to dry my tears
Will you stay by my side
As i learn to glide
