Song Lyrics

Coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
Only a kiss, it was only a kiss

Now I'm falling asleep
She's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke
She's taking a drag
And they're going to bed
My stomach is sick
It's all in my head

But she's touching his chest now
He takes off her dress now
Let me go

I just can't look, it's killing me
And it's 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
I'm Mr. Brightside tonight

I never
I never
I never
I never

(Oh I never)
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies (Oh I never)
Choking on your alibi
But it's just the price I pay (Oh I never)
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes (Oh I never)
I'm Mr. Brightside (Oh I never)

I'm coming out of my cage
And I've been doing just fine
Gotta gotta be down
I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss

I never
I never
I never
