[Verse 1]
They all tell me to dump
Du-du-dump my boyfriend
But I can’t just dump
Du-du-dump my boyfriend
Accusations but what about all the birds in your tree?
Pull off the plaster for me

[Pre-Chorus]
It is my safety blanket
You know I can’t live with it
You know I can’t live without it, oh
It is my safety blanket
I feel hollow without it
Hollow without it

[Chorus]
He took my liberty away (But I stay)
He clipped my wings so I stay (Can’t run away)
I’ll leave it off for another day
He took my liberty away (But I stay)
He clipped my wings so I stay (Can’t run away)
I’ll leave it off for another day

[Verse 2]
Easier said than done
I don’t want to jump the gun
You saw me draw out my plan
And now I’m waiting for you
To get angry and upset
So that it falls through
Accusations but what about all the birds in your tree?
Pull off the plaster for me

[Pre-Chorus]
It is my safety blanket
You know I can’t live with it
You know I can’t live without it, oh
It is my safety blanket
I feel hollow without it
Hollow without it

[Chorus]
He took my liberty away (But I stay)
He clipped my wings so I stay (Can’t run away)
I’ll leave it off for another day
He took my liberty away (But I stay)
He clipped my wings so I stay (Can’t run away)
I’ll leave it off for another day

[Pre-Chorus]
It is my safety blanket
You know I can’t live with it
You know I can’t live without it, oh
It is my safety blanket
I feel hollow without it
Hollow without it

[Chorus]
He took my liberty away (But I stay)
He clipped my wings so I stay (Can’t run away)
I’ll leave it off for another day
He took my liberty away (But I stay)
He clipped my wings so I stay (Can’t run away)
I’ll leave it off for another day
I'll dump my boyfriend
