Well I don't feel better
When I'm fucking around
And I don't write bitter
When I'm stuck in the ground
So don't teach me a lesson
Cause I've already learned
Yeah the sun will be shining
And my children will burn

Oh my heart beats in its cage

I don't want what you want
I don't feel what you feel
See I'm stuck in a city
But I belong in a field

And we gotta laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh

Now it's three in the morning and you're eating alone

Oh my heart beats in its cage

All our friends, they're laughing at us
All of those you loved you mistrust
Help me I'm just not quite myself
Look around there's no one else there
I went to the concert and I fought through the crowd
Guess I got too excited when I thought you were around

Oh you gotta laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh

I'm sorry you were faking; I would steal your fire.
My heart beats in its cage
Yes the heart beats in its cage
Alright

And the heart beats in its cage
