You once said you loved me
(With the words of a thousand lies)
You once said you loved me
(But you didn't look in my eyes)
You once said you loved me
(You don't get what you don't believe)
You once said you loved me
(Actors only help misconceive)

I'm standing at your door
In the middle of the night
And I don't know what to do
And I don't know is right
When you come along
And I finally see your face
Will I crumble to the floor?
Will I fall for your embrace?

And you sit in your birdcage

And you sit in your birdcage
Waiting to be set free

You once said you need me
(Do you know what a promise means?)
You once said you need me
(And the words I hear in my dreams?)
You once said you need me
(You throw me up against the wall)
You once said you need me
(Then you pick me up when I fall)

You stalk me in my dreams
When I sleep without your hand
But no matter how I try
You might never understand
I wanna lead you through
So that you can finally see
But if I am guiding you
Then who is that guiding me?

And you sit in your birdcage
(Fly away)
Waiting to be set free
(One sweet day)
And you sit in your birdcage
(No more pain)

Waiting to be set free
(Unafraid)

And you sit in your birdcage
(By my side)

Waiting to be set free
(Every night)

And you sit in your birdcage
(I won't cry)

Waiting to be set free
(I won't hide)

*No more unanswered calls
No love in which to fall
No memory recall
Coz you will be set free
No more long-distance games
No mind to go insane
No sweet seductive pain
Coz you will be set free
No more convincing lies
No teary eyed goodbyes
No need to even try
Coz you will be set free
No past that came before
Unlock my heart and soul
And open up the door
So you can set me free

*REPEAT

And you sit in your birdcage

And you sit in your birdcage
Waiting to be set free
