We had a deal that you would try
But then this bird just flew away
While I looked the other way
An empty cage is all I've got
Or to keep her caged would just delay the spring
Now that's a lie
Or to keep her caged would just delay the spring
You stole the plot
Your lip was bleedin' but it was fine
She was never meant to stay
Come on inside, babe, across the line
You broke your word
High time we drew the line
I love you more than I
But then this bird just flew away
You left an empty shot
Or to keep her caged would just delay the spring
'Cos when your bird has flown away
You broke my soul, dear
Come on inside, girl, I think it's time
She was never meant to stay
But there's nothin' left here 'cos you took the lot
