I can’t do this anymore.
I was born to be free and so I must be.
It is like I told him when we first made love:
“There are many different types of love…
And I love you.”
He nodded his head and said “I know”
(A manner I’ve become very familiar with
And because of that, has lost its magic)
His love never gave me freedom.
He did love me, though.
And I, well, I loved him.
But like a bird he spotted in the sky
That is bright and blue
I filled his soul with hope
And when I sing to him he soars
But I do not
Because he has caught me and
Caged me so that he can have me
And he thinks he’s protecting me
He doesn’t see the error in his way
And he thinks he’d climb to the highest peaks
To catch me again
I know he wouldn’t
It sounds romantic, doesn’t it?
But I’m not a bird, I’m a girl
And I do not fly with feathered wings
There is no way that I can be caged
Without my permission
He knows, he says.
He knows he knows he knows
But he doesn’t know how much I miss myself
He doesn’t realize how twisted his love really is
He doesn’t realize he can never have me
I can’t do this anymore.
