Birdcage

I′m the mortal coil wrapped around your finger at the end of every day
Pushing daisies through your letterbox never helped me find a way
You've given up on the things that you taught me to believe in
I remember the look on your face when you told me you were leaving

I′m a sinner
Things are never gonna be the same
You're my compass-spinner
Still, you keep my heart trapped inside of your birdcage

I'm the mortal coil wrapped around your finger at the end of every day
I′ll keep persisting like a stubborn weed through the debris and grow

I′ve given up on myself and the things that I believe in
I remember the look on your face and I just couldn't believe it

I′m a sinner
Things are never gonna be the same
You're my compass-spinner
Still, you keep my heart trapped inside of your birdcage
Inside of your birdcage
Still, you keep my heart trapped inside of your birdcage

I set fire to everything you left
I didn′t think about the downsides in loving you to death
Pushing daisies through your letterbox
Trying to find all of the things I lost
Taking time to try to right the wrongs
Maybe there's nothing wrong with me

I′m a sinner
Things are never gonna be the same

You're my compass-spinner
Still, you keep my heart trapped inside of your birdcage
Inside of your birdcage
You keep my heart trapped inside
