I Was A Cage

It must have been a month since you last loved me
And I haven't slept a wink I hope you care
And I went to hell and back for half and hour
And started a staring contest with your man
And I was a cage
A cage to you
And it has to been a year since I was sober
And I made a point to pinch my skin again
Its any minute now that I will wake you
Watching a woman sleep can get you scared
But I am a cage
Surrounding you
But I am afraid
Of the truth
Inside of you
I could use a friend to say they love me
But im gonna make a sound you cant forget
And afterwards I swore that I would haunt you
Now im way to tired to give a shit
Cause I was a wave
Collapsing you
Yeah I was a wave
Collapsing you
I am away
coming up to you
Well I was away
