lyrics

There goes your heart, it's flying free again
It's been cooped up too long with your sensibilities
So now you've let it go and savored that sweet release
But there's a reason why pretty birds like you always end up in cages

Now you're weeping
(Swept off my feet)
Searching for help from the ceiling
(And broke my wings)
But there's no one and nothing that's coming
(You're the reason for)
To get you out of this mess you're in
(This mess I'm in)

Yeah, he fooled you
(Stuck on the ground)
Charmed you with his handsome hairdo
(With only the sound)
Lured you into the bedroom
(Of birds trying to sing)
And now you're trying to sing all your sorrows away
(All their sorrows away)

You watch the days pass by from your little slice of life
You've stopped answering your friends when they ask if you're alright
Maybe the spring will bring back your head again
Cause the winter feels more cold when you always end up with a partner who feels like pavement

Now you're weeping
(Swept off my feet)
Searching for help from the ceiling
(And broke my wings)
But there's no one and nothing that's coming
(You're the reason for)
To get you out of this mess you're in
(This mess I'm in)

Yeah, he fooled you
(Stuck on the ground)
Charmed you with his handsome hairdo
(With only the sound)
Lured you into the bedroom
(Of birds trying to sing)
And now you're trying to sing all your sorrows away
(All their sorrows away)

You'll never fall for it again
You'll never fall for it again
You'll never fall for it again

Now you're weeping
(Swept off my feet)
Searching for help from the ceiling
(And broke my wings)
But there's no one and nothing that's coming
(You're the reason for)
To get you out of this mess you're in
(This mess I'm in)

Yeah, he fooled you
(Stuck on the ground)
Charmed you with his handsome hairdo
(With only the sound)
Lured you into the bedroom
(Of birds trying to sing)
And now you're trying to sing all your sorrows away
(All their sorrows away)
