Cm
I'm in the corner of your cage

Mascara running down my face

The door is open, but I'll stay

You're twisting screws inside my head
G
I won't just lie down and play dead
Bb F
Take a good look at my face, you think you can keep me
VERSE ONE:
Cm
Scared to fall asleep at night when you're by my side

Hide behind your poker face, you do it every day

I know you lie, so I fake a smile, ah
