I'm in the corner of your cage
Mascara running down my face
The door is open, but I stay
You think you can keep me and keep me afraid
You're twisting screws inside my head
I won't just lie down and play dead
Take a good look at my face, you think you can keep me?
Scared to fall asleep at night when you're by my side
I don't know why, it doesn't feel right
Hide behind your poker face, you do it every day
I know you lie, so I fake a smile, ah
'Cause in the end (the end)
I know you'll get (you'll get) everything you give
I'm in the corner of your cage
Mascara running down my face
The door is open but I stay
You think you can keep me and keep me afraid
You're twisting screws inside my head
I won't just lie down and play dead
Take a good look at my face, you think you can keep me?
But I'm not afraid
Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-dum, dum
Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-dum, dum
Better hope and plead and pray, I keep your secret safe
You better run 'cause I got the gun
I don't need receipts to show the things that we both know
'Cause I got the scars to prove who you are, ah
'Cause in the end (the end)
I know you'll get (you'll get) everything you give
I'm in the corner of your cage
Mascara running down my face
The door is open, but I stay
You think you can keep me and keep me afraid
You're twisting screws inside my head
I won't just lie down and play dead
Take a good look at my face, you think you can keep me?
But I'm not afraid
Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-dum, dum
Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-dum, dum
