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 in keep me afraid
You're twistin' 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 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 in, keep me afraid
You're twistin' 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
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 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 in, keep me afraid
You're twistin' 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
