Your love was always yours to give We'll start another war But you always wondered perfectly What you're living for Your eyes have wept a thousand tears You never needed mine The crime is never what you steal But what you leave behind And maybe I'm too blind to see The line was always crossing me And maybe I'm too far to reach But what's inside of you still same as me Sweet birds, in the cage Sweet birds, in the cage Sweet birds, in the cage Sweet birds, in the cage Sweet birds, in the cage Sweet birds, in the cage Your soul was only yours to keep It's buried in me now A bullet from the shell it leaves It strips it to the ground And maybe I'm too blind to see the fire is all that walks with me And maybe I'm too starved and weak What's inside of you still same as me
