 Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine

 It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?

 Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab

 Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick

Сhest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
 I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
 ‘Cause I'm Mr. Brightside


 I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine

 It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?

 Now I'm falling asleep
And she's calling a cab

 Now they're going to bed
And my stomach is sick

Сhest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go
 'Cause I just can't look
It's killing me
And taking control

Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibies
But it's just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
 ‘Cause I'm Mr. Brightside


I never
I never
I never
I never
