A latch to open

 

You come upon a bird in a pretty cage
You feel all its sadness, all its rage
A latch to open doors with moving parts
You hold the key but you just walk away
And life is much harder than you thought
Love can't be tamed and it can't be caught
And still it sings a song for your heart
You decide you want its wings, so you cut them off
And still it sings a song for your blackened heart
You decide you want its wings, so you cut them off
And life is so much harder than you thought
Life is so much harder than you thought

Oh, love, don't go away
Oh, love, don't go away
Oh, love, stay in your cage
Please stay in your cage
Stay
