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

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

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

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

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

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

Feel the winter bitterness

It's heavy on the wind

Coming back again

Maybe it's time to fly, time to fly away!

When you gonna spread your wings and fly?

When you gonna fly away?

When you gonna fly away?
