Bitch why you fuck with my feelings again
I don't know when all this pain gonna end
So high, watch my soul fly in the wind
Just let me in give me your hand
I just want someone to talk to and listen
Its not all about the sex i want your attention
Drown my pain in liquids baby girl whats your intentions
But did i mention i really miss it
Liquor in my system pain running down my eyes
Would tell you i'm okay but those are lies
Look into my eyes i know they fried
Its a death race for my love so do or die
What am I feeling
I want the xanns and the perks to come heal me
I'm fighting demons they try to conceal me
Its up to me to do all the rebuilding
Liquor in my system pain running down my eyes
Would tell you i'm okay but those are lies
Look into my eyes i know they fried
Its a death race for my love so do or die
Bitch why you fuck with my feelings again
I don't know when all this pain gonna end
So high watch my soul fly in the wind

Drown my pain in liquids baby girl whats your intentions
But did i mention i really miss it
Bitch fuck with my heart i'm gonna get to snapping
We pull up in the dark just in case you get to capping
Its fucked up got my heart attached,she caught me lacking
Its only up i need to go missing in action
I thought i healed it all before but here we go again
Its a urge that i fight but a fight i never win
Have you ever thought you died but your soul was always in
This my farewell goodbye girl until we meet again
Liquor in my system pain running down my eyes
Would tell you i'm okay but those are lies
Look into my eyes i know they fried
Its a death race for my love so do or die
Bitch why you fuck with my feelings again
I don't know when all this pain gonna end
So high watch my soul fly in the wind
Just let me in give me your hand
I just want someone to talk to and listen
Its not all about the sex i want your attention

I'm a parrot
I'm robin this joint
Not a lyre bird
Sure ain't a vulture
Don't swallow that cause I make the culture
I'm not a lyre bird, I'm not a lyre bird
Staying, staying rich like an ostrich
Love ain't a albatross hanging 'round ya neck
Drink a sparrow, love is food, take a peck
Let's go to Turkey, swift like a rail
Can't pigeon hole, I'm epic like a Zeus tail

Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love

Doves cry
Are you going home alone?
Squad flock
Migrate for the summer
Duck out for, for some hot weather
Birds of prey and I'm shaking off my feather
See the water foul, swing on a creeper
Like starlin dictating love on my speaker
Hot flamingo, go bird emoji yo
Monogamous like a swan going with the flow

Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love

Watch the sky, watch the sky
Watching, watching the sky
Watch the sky, watch
Watch the sky
Watch the sky
Watching, watching the sky
Watch the sky, watch, watch

Is that a crow on a crain?
Is that you or a plane?
Where's your chicken at?
I'm watching like a hawk
Aye, I need more birds!
Gully like a seagull
Gully like a, gully like a seagull
Gully like a seagull
I'm cuckoo for you, let's talk!

Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love
Free up my love
Staying, staying rich like ostrich

Drop down get your eagle on
Drop down, drop down like a falcon
Drop down get your eagle on
Drop down, drop down get your eagle on
Drop down get your eagle on
Drop down, drop down like a falcon
Drop down, fly phenomena
Humming higher than a drone
Free up my love
