A Latch to Open

Song A Latch to Open
Artist Hannah Fury
Album Subterfuge

Lyrics

You come upon a bird in a pretty cage
You feel all its sadness, all its rage
A latch to open doors with moving parts
You hold the key but you just walk away
And life is much harder than you thought
Love can't be tamed and it can't be caught
And still it sings a song for your heart
You decide you want its wings, so you cut them off
And still it sings a song for your blackened heart
You decide you want its wings, so you cut them off
And life is so much harder than you thought
Life is so much harder than you thought
Oh, love, don't go away
Oh, love, don't go away
Oh, love, stay in your cage
Please stay in your cage
Stay
You come upon a bird in a pretty cage
This time you will help it to escape
A latch to open doors with moving parts
You turn the key and watch it slip away
And then it sings a song for your secret heart
You still want its wings, but you let it fly off
And life is so much sweeter than you thought
Life is so much sweeter than you thought
Life is so much sweeter than you thought
Life is so much sweeter than you thought
