There's a cage around my heart,
To keep others from ripping it apart.
And although I open up time to time.
I still feel the urge
To lock it away from any wandering eyes.
No matter the strength I put in my fists,
Or the knowledge I put in my head,
My heart will always falter
And back away from you instead.
I never feel good enough
I never feel the need to impressed;
Because I always believe someone deserves better,
Even when I feel on top, unlike the rest.
You can give me your smile
And every hour of your day
But at any moment,
Any second,
It can all just fade away
Im sorry that I do this,
That I disappear for a long period of time.
I'm sorry I can't close my mouth
Or stop from telling you "I'm fine"
I never wanted to hurt people,
Or make them feel that I've lied.
But Baby,
Everything is changing,
I feel like I'm running out of time.
