Heart In Birdcage

To the man with the key,

The tall slanky man has the key to the lock,
A large rusty lock attached to my cage,
Release me, Release me, Release me,
He unlocks my cage with his key, his words,
Set me afree, into a locked cage I pour,
Release me, Release me, Release my heart in birdcage,


My heart in birdcage aches,
Unlock my cage, Unlock my cage, Unlock my cage,
His words peirce, his key twists,
Unlock my cage, Unlock my cage, Unlock my heart in birdcage,


I thought I was set afree,
He told me that he loved me,
Need me, Need me, Need me,
I can't escape the cage,
His heart is filled with rage,
Need me, Need me, Need me,
Now I understand, he cannot release my heart, for he is me,


Release me, Release me, Release my heart in birdcage,
