Like a bird in a cage

I'd forgotten how to sing

I was lost in a rage

I was nearly broken

Hey...

Yeah, hey-hey...

Like a bird in a cage

I'd forgotten how to sing

All alone on the stage

Drinking holy water

I pray

Eh...

Hey...

Yeah, hey-hey...

I was too loaded

Forever devoted

I'm taking it out on myself

I was delighted

The dearly departed

Was always so happy to fall

Into your arms

Into your arms.

Like a bird in a cage

I'd forgotten how to sing

Now we're turning the page

On a brand new story, yeah

You can't hold me back, don't get me wrong

There's nothing left here for me now

Hey...

I was too loaded

Forever devoted

I'm taking it out on myself

I was delighted

The dearly departed

Was always so happy to fall

Into your arms

Into your arms.

Like a bird in a cage

I'd forgotten how to sing

Like a bird in a cage.
