If i washed my clothes and i combed my hair

Would you look at me the same

All this time i believed i had lost control

But this doesn't have a name

If i swim down the middle and i worked real hard

Could i learn to shut you out

People told us we were crazy and maybe they were right

But that's not what this is about

Because i've never lived without it

Never needed it so bad

That they'd sell out their whole family for a taste

Because she treated you so fancy

Before she treated you so mean

But she made a good companion either way

Either way

Sitting in the snow while we traced our tracks

But we can't go back again

I'm not your mother and you're not a child

Honey we weren't even friends

You were born into an ocean i grew up in a swimming pool

Underneath the band aid colored pain

I had barely learned to hold you i had barely spoke your name

When i began to love you without shame

But i'll learn to live without it never loved it anyway

And i'll ride my plastic pony to the sun

But they're closing down the party and they're bringing heavy chains

But we'll learn to love our freedom from a cage

From a cage

From a cage

From a cage

From a cage
