lyrics

I don't know why but I feel like I've been running in circles
you've got me on your line tied so tight
you know it, yeah you know
that I come running back each time
just say the word
I know it yeah I know
that I need to break my ties
don't want to be that girl

I'm not your caged bird
I won't sing for you anymore
I'm not your caged bird
I won't wait for you

last summer I told myself that I was free from the past
but you came along and all I did was wonder what if what if
I know it yeah I know
that you mean more to me
than I mean to you
you don't know it you don't know
that I wish I didn't love you
like I do

I'm not your caged bird
I won't sing for you anymore
I'm not your caged bird
I won't wait for you
to come home
to come home

and I'm glad to have met you
and it's hard for me to let you go
but to know you is to love you
and to love you is to feel alone

I'm not your caged bird
I won't sing for you anymore
I'm not your caged bird
I won't wait for you
anymore
