lyrics

I know why the caged bird sings
Sometimes bleeding’s just not enough
I know you told me to stay away
From those things
But I’m just not strong enough

Mama used to read me tales
From the Arabian Nights
Even though I was big enough to carry her
I still wanted to cry
For all those lovers that were so blind
For all those places that got left behind
With you

So you tied the noose
You don’t even think twice
I just wish I could cut you loose
Of all that you sacrifice

So they bring up the bodies
And I’m in the dark
‘Cause I know I’ll have to claim the dead

I wish it was me instead
Of her
I wish it was me instead
With you

So we paint your faces happy
Leave them smiling just to keep us sane
But you don’t know how badly
I want you to see my suffering and pain

I know why the caged bird sings
Sometimes bleeding’s just not enough
I know why the caged bird sings
Her lover scorned her touch

Oh, I will never be enough
Oh, I could never be enough
For you
