Birdcage

I’m the mortal coil wrapped around your figure 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 told 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 your birdcage I’m the mortal coil wrapped around your figure 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 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 your birdcage
