I know why the caged bird sings
And I know why bells do ring
I know why the swords must swing
And I know why my arms do cling.
It's easy to say I love you cause you're special,
It's easy to say I love you cause you're hot
It's not easy to say I love you cause you're everything
It's not easy to say I love you cause you're everything I'm not.
I know why the caged bird sings
And I know why bells do ring
I know why the swords must swing
And I know why my arms do cling.
It always now when I cry I think I'm going to die
It always now when I cry I wonder if I'm really alive
It's never now when I cry that I think of the happy times
It's never now when I cry that I think how I've survived.
I know why the caged bird sings
And I know why bells do ring
I know why the swords must swing
And I know why my arms do cling.
I guess I should tell you I will miss you
I guess I should tell you I will hurt
I guess I won't tell you I'm not happy
I guess I won't tell you how I've cried
I know why the caged bird sings
And I know why bells do ring
I know why the swords must swing
And I know why my arms do cling.
I know why the caged bird sings sings sings
I know why the caged bird sings sings sings
I know why the swords must swing
And I know why my arms do cling.
It's easy to say I love you cause you're special,
It's easy to say I love you cause you're hot
It's not easy to say I love you cause you're everything
It's not easy to say I love you cause you're everything I'm not.
