Travis - The Cage LYRICS

You broke the bread, we drank the wine.
your lip was bleedin' but it was fine.
come on inside, babe, across the line.
i love you more than that i.
but then this bird just flew away, she was never meant to stay.
oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring.
you broke your word.
now that's a lie.
we had a deal that you would try.
come on inside, girl, i think it's time.
high time we drew the line.
but then this bird just flew away.
while i looked the other way.
oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring.
you broke my soul, dear, you stole the plot, you left an empty shot.
there's nothing left here, 'cos you took the lot.
an empty cage is all i've got.
'cos when your bird has flown away, she was never meant to stay.
oh to keep her caged would just delay the spring.
to keep her caged would just delay the spring
