I'm in the corner of your cage

Mascara running down my face

The door is open but I'll stay

You think you can keep me

And keep me afraid

Your 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 everyday

I know you're lying

So I fake a smile

Ah

'Cause in the end (the end)

I know you'll get (you get), everything you gave

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

Your 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

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 get)

Everything you give

I'm in the corner of your cage

Mascara running down my face

The door is open, but I'll stay

You think you can keep me

And keep me afraid

Your 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

Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-dum, dum
