Post 368: Gilded Cage (7/21/09)

Gilded Cage (7/20/09 concept, 7/21/09 w)

You keep emotions locked away, just out of reach

But they keep calling to me
Telling me to set them free

Your heart can’t live in a gilded cage

Your broken heart can’t be erased
Maybe in time you’ll see
When the pieces fit
When you start to rebuild
Rebuild your heart so you can give it away again
Your heart can’t live in a gilded cage

When I move in, you keep your distance

When I tell you how I feel
You run away, though there is something in your reply
Telling me that you want to
You want to fall in love again
You want to begin

Your heart can’t live in a gilded cage

Your broken heart can’t be erased
Maybe in time you’ll see
When the pieces fit
When you start to rebuild
Rebuild your heart so you can give it away again
Your heart can’t live in a gilded cage

Sometime I see more than you want me to

But you know I have no intention of ever leaving you
Leaving you alone, without giving your heart a home
And baby I can feel it beating
Calling out to me, even haunting my dreams

Your heart can’t live in a gilded cage

Your broken heart can’t be erased
Maybe in time you’ll see
When the pieces fit
When you start to rebuild
Rebuild your heart so you can give it away again
Your heart can’t live in a gilded cage
