[Verse 1]
It must have been a month since you last loved me
And I haven't slept a wink I hope you care
I went to hell and back for half an hour
And started a staring contest with your man

[Chorus]
And I was a cage
I was a cage
I was a cage
A cage to you
A cage to you

[Verse 2]
And it has to have been a year since I was sober
And I made a point to pinch my skin again
It's any minute now that I will wake you
Watching a woman sleep can get you scared

[Chorus]
But I am a cage
I am a cage
I am a cage
Surrounding you
Surrounding you
[Chorus]
But I am afraid
I am afraid
God, I'm afraid
Of the truth
Inside of you

[Verse 3]
I could use a friend to say they love me
But I'm gonna make a sound you can't forget
And afterwards I swore that I would haunt you
Now I'm way too tired to give a shit

[Chorus]
'Cause I was a wave
Yeah, I was a wave
A wave
Collapsing you
Collapsing you

[Chorus]
Yeah I was a wave
I was a wave
I was a wave
Collapsing you
Collapsing you
[Chorus]
I am away
I am away
I am away
Coming up to you
To you

[Chorus]
Well I was away
I was away
I was away
