Got my head in a haze
Feel like a cat in a cage
I've been crying for days and I'm falling apart
Digging a hole in my heart
Give me the lies on page
I'm' feelin twice my age
I've been crying for days and I'm falling apart
Digging a hole in my heart

Digging a hole is that the way you treat me
Digging a hole just ltie me up and beat me

Got my head in a haze
Feel like a cat in a cage
I've been crying for days and I'm falling apart
Give me the lies on page
I'm' feelin twice my age
I've been crying for days and I'm falling apart
Digging a hole in my heart

Digging a hole is that the way you treat me
Digging a hole just tie me up and beat me

Got my head in a haze
Feel like a cat in a cage
I've been crying for days and I'm falling apart
Give me the lies on page
I'm' feelin twice my age
I've been crying for days and I'm falling apart
Digging a hole in my heart

Digging a hole is that the way you treat me
Digging a hole just tie me up and beat me
