Keep Me Afraid
Nessa Barrett
I'm in the corner of your cage
Mascara running down my face
The door is open but I'll stay
You think you can keep me
And keep me afraid
Your twisting screws inside my head
I won't just lie down and play dead
Take a good look at my face
You think you can keep me
Scared to fall asleep at night
When you're by my side
I don't know why
It doesn't feel right
Hide behind your poker face
You do it everyday
I know you're lying
So I fake a smile
Ah
'Cause in the end (the end)
I know you'll get (you get), everything you gave
I'm in the corner of your cage
Mascara running down my face
The door is open, but I stay
You think you can keep me
And keep me afraid
Your twisting screws inside my head
I won't just lie down and play dead
Take a good look at my face
You think you can keep me
But I'm not afraid
Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-dum
Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-dum, dum
Better hope and plead and pray
I keep your secret safe
You better run
'Cause I got the gun
I don't need receipts to show
The things that we both know
'Cause I got the scars
To prove who you are
Ah
'Cause in the end (the end)
I know you'll get (you get)
Everything you give
I'm in the corner of your cage
Mascara running down my face
The door is open, but I'll stay
You think you can keep me
And keep me afraid
Your twisting screws inside my head
I won't just lie down and play dead
Take a good look at my face
You think you can keep me
But I'm not afraid
Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-dum
Da, da-da, da-da, da-da, da-dum, dum
