[Verse 1]
Hey, Ladybird, ain't it just the way
The way that love grows cold and then fades away?
Now when he touches you, make no mistake
The fire's long gone out and the ash has blown away
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't know how to leave
And you don't know where to fly
You don't know what you feel
But you know it's not satisfied today
[Verse 2]
So many little ones, so many mouths
You've got a lot to feed and you know you don't know how
Making the best of it, somehow you're making do
Making the best of the days that you stay
And you wait in this cage they made for you
[Chorus]
You don't know how to leave
And you don't know where to fly
You've got a lot of things to lose
So you've got a lot of things to hide
You know you don't believe
But you know you've got to try today
[Verse 3]
You know the sweetest wine, it's a witches' brew
Pours like honey down and then burns a hole in you
Yeah, you may think you're done but you're never through
Spitting out the bitterness to get the little sweetness you do
[Chorus]
You don't know how to leave
And you don't know where to fly
You've got a lot of things to lose
So you've got a lot of things to hide
You don't know what you feel
But you know it's not satisfied
You know you don't believe
But you know you've got to try today
[Verse 4]
Feel the winter bitterness;
It's heavy on the wind
Coming back again
[Verse 5]
Maybe it's time to fly, time to fly away!
When you gonna spread your wings and fly?
When you gonna fly away?
[Outro]
When you gonna fly away?
