Ok this is a very metaphorical song to me. In verse 1 "High on a hill
Heard a bird sing her song
Sang you were true
Well, she got it all wrong"
She explains how she was blind to see the truth about her boyfriend. High on a hill means she is "high in love"
Verse 2
"She didn't know about your lies
And all your stupid alibis
Don't you know this bird got wise
Surprise, surprise, surprise"
She now explains how the more he lied and used alibis the wiser she became still refering to herself as the bird.
Verse 3
"Fell off the hill
Into darkest of dreams
Promises broke
Ripped apart at the seams"
She explains how she fell out of love (fell off the hill) because of the promises he broke.
Verse 4.
"So now you know this bird has flown
You will repay me what you owe
Don't you know you're gonna live
Alone, alone, alone"
This verse pretty much sums up the whole song, "so now you know this bird has flown away" means she left him "You will repay me what you owe
Don't you know you're gonna live
Alone, alone, alone" means the only way he can repay her what he owes is to live alone as she knows he will because of the way he treats his "loved" ones.
