[Intro]
I poured my time into a plastic cup
And threw it out the window in a parking lot
Never in a moving car anyway
Discard the day

[Pre-Chorus]
Breaking out the golden cage
By taking all gold out of play
Write myself a happy ending
Tearing out the page
I go, here I go running off the stage
I go, here I go

[Chorus]
I thought my pain was valid 'til I felt the resistance
It doesn't suffer fools
Break the rules of my existence
I thought my pain was valid till I saw across the distance
I broke the bridge in two
Break the rules of my existence
Tell me
Where the hell did I go wrong?
Keeping my heart locked up so long
Where the hell did I go wrong?
Keeping my heart locked up so long
[Verse 1]
I try to self-destruct but leave myself intact
I like to dream and I'm not an insomniac
Happy wasn't on the table anyway
Discard the day

[Pre-Chorus]
Breaking out the golden cage
By taking all gold out of play
Write myself a happy ending
Tearing out the page
I go, here I go running off the stage
I go, here I go

[Chorus]
I thought my pain was valid till I felt the resistance
It doesn't suffer fools
Break the rules of my existence
I thought my pain was valid till I saw cross the distance
I broke the bridge in two
Break the rules of my existence
Tell me
Where the hell did I go wrong?
Keeping my heart locked up so long
Where the hell did I go wrong?
Keeping my heart locked up so long
[Verse 2]
I'm safe and I am sound
Leave me bound, leave now
I'm tame and anchored down
Leave me bound, leave now
I'm safe and I am sound
Leave me bound, leave now
I'm tame and anchored down
Leave me bound, leave now

[Chorus]
I thought my pain was valid 'til I felt the resistance
It doesn't suffer fools
Break the rules of my existence
I thought my pain was valid till I saw cross the distance
I broke the bridge in two
Break the rules of my existence
Tell me
Where the hell did I go wrong?
Keeping my heart locked up so long
Where the hell did I go wrong?
Keeping my heart locked up so long
Where the hell did I go wrong?
Keeping my heart locked up so long
Where the hell did I go wrong?
Keeping my heart locked up so long
