[verse 1] [intimate, still, post-breakup] Our photograph Still on the table Not ready To put it away there we are still smiling not knowing what I'd do [pre-chorus] [fragile, close vocal] your scent still in the room but you're not coming back [chorus] [aching, restrained, clear hook] how can peace feel like a cage? your future was warm peaceful but not for me [verse 2] [more open, slight lift] I open the windows fresh air comes in I take a deep breath almost feel alright then it hurts that I do was this what I kept from myself? [chorus 2] [more painful, wider] how could peace feel like a cage? your future was warm peaceful but not for me [bridge] [reflective, sparse] you grew roots in the life you made I called it wings maybe I just wanted to be somewhere else [final chorus] [wider, emotional, unresolved] how could peace feel like a cage? your future was warm peaceful but not for me I wanted to want it I really did [instrumental breakdown] [guitar solo] [outro]
