Empty Cage (Take Away The Blue)

"You're just an empty cage if you kill the bird"
Well my bird's already dead
It has been for awhile
Thanks Tori, comforting words you said!
Gawd, do I feel a fake smile?
Nah, it's just a phase
My bird's dead, it doesn't sing anymore
It's gone far, so far away

Happy days are few
I think the bird is dead
Maybe it just migrated south
Took it's music in it's head
To sit upon someone's else's sill
And chirp the day away
To someone else's delight
Got sick of me today

Though I try to put on a smile
Cause I don't want to bring others down
Honestly I don't smile much
It seems I always frown

Whether that bird comes back
And fills my cage with joy
Is something to wonder
Something with which my mind will toy

Will I ever feel like singing?
The tears have been kept in too long
Every time I try to sing
They interrupt my song

"You're just an empty cage if you kill the bird"
Tori's right, that's true
My cage is empty
And all I want is happiness...
Colour my world brightly
And take away the blue...
