lyrics

Lyrics:

Broken, escaping, you're leaving you don't need to be.
Can't you expect to believe all the things that you say?
Oh so I'll hang on to your lies, your mystery eyes,
just as long as you keep hinting
that somewhere there's a piece of you that's holding on to me

And I'm stuck in your limbo of promises you never keep.
And your words never matter they're only there to appease me.
And that bullshit from your "real heart" fighting your comfort zone
can go fuck itself.
I want real answers,
not the fantasies you built around the bridge you'd never cross.

You're a smile in the darkness.
You're an open flame.
You're the early bird,
and I'm your anxious worm.
You're the shivering after.
You're the sinking inside.
I just picture your face, and I don't know where to go with that.

'Cause I just feel caged.
I just feel caged.

You can shake your head or nod.
A one syllable answer will do.
I'm so sick of waiting, I'm so sick of thinking,
I'm so sick of worrying about you.
I just want to know how this concludes.
I just want to know what I'm s'posed to be doing about you.

You're a smile in the darkness.
You're an open flame.
You're the early bird,
and I'm your anxious worm.
You're the shivering after.
You're the sinking inside.
I just picture your face, and I don't know where to go with that.

'Cause I just feel caged.
I just feel caged.

I just picture your face.
I just picture your face and I don't know where to go with that.

'Cause I just feel caged.
I just feel caged.
