I′m the mortal coil wrapped around your finger at the end of every day

Pushing daisies through your letterbox never helped me find a way

You've given up on the things that you taught me to believe in

I remember the look on your face when you told me you were leaving

I′m a sinner

Things are never gonna be the same

You're my compass-spinner

Still, you keep my heart trapped inside of your birdcage

I'm the mortal coil wrapped around your finger at the end of every day

I′ll keep persisting like a stubborn weed through the debris and grow

I′ve given up on myself and the things that I believe in

I remember the look on your face and I just couldn't believe it

I′m a sinner

Things are never gonna be the same

You're my compass-spinner

Still, you keep my heart trapped inside of your birdcage

Inside of your birdcage

Still, you keep my heart trapped inside of your birdcage

I set fire to everything you left

I didn′t think about the downsides in loving you to death

Pushing daisies through your letterbox

Trying to find all of the things I lost

Taking time to try to right the wrongs

Maybe there's nothing wrong with me

I′m a sinner

Things are never gonna be the same

You're my compass-spinner

Still, you keep my heart trapped inside of your birdcage

Inside of your birdcage

You keep my heart trapped inside
