Verse 1

Comin' out of my cage and I've been doin' 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 I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab

While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag

Now they're goin' to bed and my stomach is sick

And it's all in my head, but she's touching his

Pre-Chorus

Chest now

He takes off her dress now

Let me go

And I just can't look, it's killing me

And taking control

Chorus

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

Interlude
Verse 2

I'm comin' out of my cage and I've been doin' 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 I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab

While he's havin' a smoke and she's taking a drag

Now they're goin' to bed and my stomach is sick

And it's all in my head, but she's touching his

Pre-Chorus

Chest now

He takes off her dress now

Let me go

'Cause I just can't look, it's killing me

And taking control

Chorus

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
