A little bird in a cage
Fighting to get free
That's what I was to you
But you were too blind to see
Afraid to open the gold steel bars
To let the world touch my wings
You bash me down when I reach for the stars
But you don't understand how the handcuffs sting
There is a whole world apart form me and you
Just because the unknown is scary doesn't mean you should keep me from it
Trying to keep me safe, your hands are like a choke hold turning me blue
My life is slipping away, I seem not to fit
Into your mold
You don't understand what you're doing to me
I sit here lonely in a cage as dusk turns to dawn
You're killing me slowly, please just let me be
I love you, I do
Maybe like a slave loves a master
But my love was constant and always true
Why is it this way? It has become a disaster.
