circling the cage

two years go by and

two breaths and i am

so close to coming down

it's been a hell of a ride

you've been so much of my life

and i don't wanna hurt you but

you're still the same and

i just keep changing

and i like who i'm becoming

growing into my skin

places i've never been

and i wish i could bring you with me but i can't

i'm not expecting you to understand

i'm a butterfly circling the cage right now

circling the cage and i

i

the truth is i am better off all by myself

i'm not expecting you to take this well

i'm a butterfly circling the cage right now

circling the cage and i

i

i'm dying to get out

four in the morning

without a warning

it hits me like wave and i come crumbling down

thinking 'bout you not around

i keep going back and forth

i could run forever

never face you myself

i could push you to the edge and probably drag you through hell

but i don't wanna do that no more

and put you through that no more

i gotta go to sit alone

and i wish i could bring you with me but i can't

i'm not expecting you to understand

i'm a butterfly circling the cage right now

circling the cage and i

i

the truth is i am better off all by myself

i'm not expecting you to take this well

i'm a butterfly circling the cage right now

circling the cage and i

i

i'm dying to get out

you're still the same and

i just keep changing

and i like who i'm becoming

growing into my skin

places i've never been

i wish i could bring you with me but i can't

i'm not expecting you to understand

i'm a butterfly circling the cage right now

circling the cage and i

the truth is i am better off all by myself

i'm not expecting you to take this well

i'm a butterfly circling the cage right now

circling the cage and i

i

i'm dying to get out

i wish i could bring you with me but i can't
