Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine
Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all
It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
[Verse 2]
Now she's falling asleep and he's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag
And they're going to bed and my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head but she's touching his
[Verse 3]
Chest now, he takes off her dress now
Lets me go
I just can't look, it's killing me
And it's taking control
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
I'm coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine
Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all
It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
[Verse 6]
Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag
And they're going to bed and my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head but she's touching his
[Verse 7]
Chest now, he takes off her dress now
Lets me go
You know I just can't look, it's killing me
And it's taking control
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
I never
I never
I never
I never
