I'm in the corner of your cage

Mascara running down my face

The door is open but I stay

You think you can keep me in keep me afraid

You're twistin', squeezin' inside my head

I won't just lie down and play dead

Take a good look at my face

You think you can keep me

Scared to fall asleep at night

When you're by my side

I don't know why, it doesn't feel right

Hide behind your poker face

You do it every day

I know you lie, so I fake a smile, ah

'Cause in the end (the end)

I know you'll get (you get) everything you give

I'm in the corner of your cage

Mascara running down my face

The door is open but I stay

You think you can keep me in, keep me afraid

You're twistin' screws inside my head

I won't just lie down and play dead

Take a good look at my face

You think you can keep me

But I'm not afraid

Better hope and plead and pray

I keep your secret safe

You better run, 'cause I got the gun

I don't need receipts to show

The things that we both know

'Cause I got the scars to prove who you are, ah

'Cause in the end (the end)

I know you'll get (you get) everything you give

I'm in the corner of your cage

Mascara running down my face

The door is open but I stay

You think you can keep me in, keep me afraid

You're twistin' screws inside my head

I won't just lie down and play dead

Take a good look at my face

You think you can keep me

But I'm not afraid
