It was just another night
She held me in
Her arms so tight
We were dreaming
With the stars in our eyes
But I never realized
I never realized

Like the wild in a cage waiting to be free
A bird on the ground with broken wings
You wanted to fly, you had to be free
Like the wild in a cage waiting to be free
A bird on the ground with broken wings
You wanted to fly, you had to be free
But what about me?

It was just another day
You had so much to say
Our love was still strong
But you had to be free

Like the wild in a cage waiting to be free
A bird on the ground with broken wings
You wanted to fly, you had to be free
Like the wild in a cage waiting to be free
A bird on the ground with broken wings
You wanted to fly, you had to be free
But what about me?
Now the sands of time
Have buried the heartbreak
You walked in with the wind
Uncovered the memories
You're holding your arms out to me
Temptation is all that I see
I have to be strong
You had to be free
Cause it's all about me

Like the wild in a cage waiting to be free
A bird on the ground with broken wings
You wanted to fly, you had to be free
Like the wild in a cage waiting to be free
A bird on the ground with broken wings
You wanted to fly, you had to be free
But what about me?
