I was your world, your universe
As long as you liked what you heard
I thought I was your woman
Respected and loved
But I'm just your caged songbird

You heard emotion in my silence
Amidst your outpouring of words
And you asked me to open my heart
That were sealed to your ears
Choking, a little everyday
my thoughts took form
And you hit me with denial
Ignorant to my tears

This songbird will not sing
A truer tune for you
I'll shut my Soul and sing you some Pop
Some radio junk to soothe
Your ego and your pride
My heart shut, lips open wide  

You made the truth your enemy
The darkness is your friend
Until you like what you hear, I know
Our "love" will never end
