Lyrics

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

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
Chest now, he takes off her
Dress now, let me go

I just can't look, it's killing me
And they're 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
Gotta, gotta be down 'cause 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

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
Chest now, he takes off her
Dress now, let me go

You know, I just can't look, it's killing me
They're taking control, oh yes, oh, no, no, no!

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 never...
I never...
I never...
I never...
