[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
You've given up on the things that you told me to believe in
I remember the look on your face when you told me you were leaving

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
Inside of your birdcage
Still, you keep my heart trapped inside of your birdcage
[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
