Caged

I have done many brilliant things

To make you become my everything

Yet you and I are in different places, separate cages

I am here

And you are there

Who am I at the end of your day?

Animals were never meant to be caged

Still my love, it goes on

It's not like I'm analyzing what is wrong

I never wanted you to be my slave

I half wanted you to escape

I love you enough for you to be free

But what does that make of you and me?

I am here

And you are there

Who am I at the end of your day?

Animals were never meant to be caged

But what do we do when we can't give each other joy?

Turn our heads and pretend our hearts don't make noise?

And when a rattling inside of me stirs

Is that permission for you to pursue her?

Still my love, it goes on

It's not like I'm analyzing what is wrong

It's just that you and I are in different places, separate cages,

Who am I at the end of the day?

I am here

And you are there

I know you care
