Let go of the caged bird
You know that I'm dying to be free
From your captivity
Let go of the caged bird
I'm not where the pain is
And you had me
Like checkmate... or tic-tac-toe
I tried being sober
I tried being stoned
I tried being cool
I tried being strong
But I'm still trapped in these times that are gone
And I can't seem to let go...
(Let go of the caged bird...)
(Let go of the caged bird...)
It's not science or psychic
It's written in blood on the page
Illegible writing...
Promises made to my face
Like you'd love me
Family tries to console
But it's so cliche... I think of you each day
I'd rather die than get told
I tried being sober
I tried being stoned
I tried being cool
I tried being strong
But I'm still trapped in these times that are gone
And I can't seem to let go...
(Let go of the caged bird...)
(Let go of the caged bird...)
If I had the courage to let you go
I would
I would
If I had the power to break these chains
I would
I would
I tried being sober
I tried being stoned
I tried being cool
I tried being strong
But I'm still trapped in these times that are gone
And I can't seem to let go...
(Let go of the caged bird...)
(Let go of the caged bird...)
