If I Was a Bird Lyrics
Fantasia Barrino
[Verse 1:]
If I didn't love you so much
If I didn't care enough,
I would've been out that door years ago.
But if I didn't get too hurt,
If you didn't choose me first,
I would've rather been alone by myself at home.
I didn't want you to take my hand,
But I kinda like the thought of having a man,
Now I'm so done with that.
[Chorus:]
If I was a bird I'd fly out of here,
Forget everything and travel the world.
If I was a bird I would spread my wings so I can survive and get away from you.
If I was a bird, if I was a bird,
If I wasn't in love.
[Verse 2:]
My heart was in pieces that was built upon lies
Boy, I despise to cry, that's why I hide.
When all that's left in me, why would I let this be
Where is my armor to block this whole vibe?
No, I didn't want you to take my hand,
But I kind of like the thought of having a man.
But I'm so done
[Chorus:]
If I was a bird I would fly out of here,
Forget everything and travel the world.
If I was a bird I would spread my wings so I can survive and get away from you.
If I was a bird, if I was a bird,
And If I wasn't in love.
If I was a bird, if I was a bird,
If I wasn't in love.
If I was, If I was...
If I didn't love you so much
If I didn't care enough,
I would've been out that door years ago.
But if I didn't get too hurt,
If you didn't choose me first,
I would've rather been alone by myself at home.
I didn't want you to take my hand,
But I kinda like the thought of having a man,
Now I'm so done with that.
[Chorus:]
If I was a bird I'd fly out of here,
Forget everything and travel the world.
If I was a bird I would spread my wings so I can survive and get away from you.
If I was a bird, if I was a bird,
If I wasn't in love.
[Verse 2:]
My heart was in pieces that was built upon lies
Boy, I despise to cry, that's why I hide.
When all that's left in me, why would I let this be
Where is my armor to block this whole vibe?
No, I didn't want you to take my hand,
But I kind of like the thought of having a man.
But I'm so done
[Chorus:]
If I was a bird I would fly out of here,
Forget everything and travel the world.
If I was a bird I would spread my wings so I can survive and get away from you.
If I was a bird, if I was a bird,
And If I wasn't in love.
If I was a bird, if I was a bird,
If I wasn't in love.
If I was, If I was...
