When you walk into a room
One smile and everyone moves
Trying to get some time with you
Your secret, your weakness
The only thing you can control
You're hiding, you're lying
But you can't fool yourself
[Chorus:]
Under the surface you're crying out for help
Outside is perfect, but you can't free yourself
From your beautiful cage, you're beautiful, so beautiful
All alone, meeting with God
Please, save me from myself
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Please make me someone else
Your style, so wild
Way too cool to ask for help
Your affliction, your addiction
Why can't you love yourself?
[Chorus:]
Under the surface you're crying out for help
Outside is perfect, but you can't free yourself
From your beautiful cage, you're beautiful, so beautiful
From your beautiful cage, you're beautiful, so beautiful
[Bridge:]
If you could, you would fly away
A butterfly with broken wings
I can see what's underneath
And I want to save you, want to free you
[Chorus:]
Under the surface you're crying out for help
Outside is perfect, but you can't free yourself
From your beautiful cage, you're beautiful, so beautiful
From your beautiful cage, you're beautiful, so beautiful
All eyes on you, every head turns When you walk into a room One smile and everyone moves Trying to get some time with you Your secret, your weakness The only thing you can control You're hiding, you're lying But you can't fool yourself [Chorus:] Under the surface you're crying out for help Outside is perfect, but you can't free yourself From your beautiful cage, you're beautiful, so beautiful All alone, meeting with God Please, save me from myself Mirror, mirror on the wall Please make me someone else Your style, so wild Way too cool to ask for help Your affliction, your addiction Why can't you love yourself? [Chorus:] Under the surface you're crying out for help Outside is perfect, but you can't free yourself From your beautiful cage, you're beautiful, so beautiful From your beautiful cage, you're beautiful, so beautiful [Bridge:] If you could, you would fly away A butterfly with broken wings I can see what's underneath And I want to save you, want to free you [Chorus:] Under the surface you're crying out for help Outside is perfect, but you can't free yourself From your beautiful cage, you're beautiful, so beautiful From your beautiful cage, you're beautiful, so beautiful Explain Request ×
