• Tapping on this metal cage that surrounds me
    I've long since given up hope of being free
    Just tapping the cage hoping it will break
    Before it breaks me

    Just sitting all alone
    Trapped inside this tiny cage
    I have wasted all my time being angry
    But my misery melted away the rage

    I see you standing so high and mighty
    Smiling down and petting my hair
    The rage comes out of me again
    But all that I can do is glare

    I'm trapped inside this cage
    Oh how I want to run again outside
    The things I used to take for granted is now all I ever dream about
    And it never had occured to me that you lied

    I can't believe I had never seen through your pretenses
    All I had ever prayed for had come, but it turned out to be a lie
    So now I sit here thinking "be careful what you wish for"
    It had to be me inside this cage and I really wish I knew why

    "Can't you see?"
    He says to me

    "Inside this cage can be no other, only you.
    No one else can have my heart too."

    If this is his heart I have in my palm
    This icy cold and tiny thing
    He can have it back, because his love
    It only brings to me a sting

    I want to break free
    His love has brought me down to this, needing me for someone to save
    So I shall sit and wait and tap this cage
    Because it does no good to be brave

    Sitting and waiting, while tapping this metal
    While I am being eaten alive
    Sitting and waiting, sitting and waiting
    For my hero to arrive
