Lyrics
Golden bars that catch the light
Velvet pillows, diamonds bright
You said "trust me" with that smile
So I handed you the key, child
To a heart that's known some pain
But you promised it was safe
Oh, this pretty cage you built for me
Looks like heaven but I can't breathe
Love shouldn't feel like something to escape
Your sweet words are the lock, my doubts the gate
In this pretty, pretty cage
In this pretty, pretty cage
Crystal chandelier above
Casting shadows of our love
You bring roses every day
But freedom's the price I pay
All my friends say I'm so lucky
They don't see what's becoming of me
Every gilded bar, a promise you made
Every jeweled wall, a truth you betrayed
Now I'm counting every step around this space
Wondering how I got to this place
I don't need the luxury
Just want your honesty
These beautiful walls are closing in
Darling, can we begin again?
Outside these bars that shine so bright
Where love's not trapped in pretty light
Oh, this pretty cage you built for me
Looks like heaven but I can't breathe
Love shouldn't feel like something to escape
Your sweet words are the lock, my doubts the gate
In this pretty, pretty cage
In this pretty, pretty cage
I'm leaving all these treasures behind
For a love that doesn't confine
Say goodbye to your pretty cage
I'm turning the page
