Circling The Cage

(album: Dirty Pretty Things - 2019)

Two years go by and
Two breaths and I am
So close to coming down
It's been a hell of a ride
You've been so much of my life
And I don't wanna hurt you but

You're still the same and
I just keep changing
And I like who I'm becoming
Growing into my skin
Places I've never been

And I wish I could bring you with me but I can't
I'm not expecting you to understand
I'm a butterfly circling the cage right now
Circling the cage and I, I
The truth is I am better off all by myself
I'm not expecting you to take this well
I'm a butterfly circling the cage right now
Circling the cage and I, I
I'm dying to get out

Four in the morning, without a warning
It hits me like wave and I come crumbling down
Thinking 'bout you not around
I keep going back and forth
I could run forever, never face you myself
I could push you to the edge and probably drag you through hell
But I don't wanna do that no more
And put you through that no more
I gotta go to sit alone

And I wish I could bring you with me but I can't
I'm not expecting you to understand
I'm a butterfly circling the cage right now
Circling the cage and I, I
The truth is I am better off all by myself
I'm not expecting you to take this well
I'm a butterfly circling the cage right now
Circling the cage and I, I
I'm dying to get out

You're still the same and
I just keep changing
And I like who I'm becoming
Growing into my skin
Places I've never been

I wish I could bring you with me but I can't
I'm not expecting you to understand
I'm a butterfly circling the cage right now
Circling the cage and I
The truth is I am better off all by myself
I'm not expecting you to take this well
I'm a butterfly circling the cage right now
Circling the cage and I, I
I'm dying to get out

I wish I could bring you with me but I can't
