Lyrics

My parents' house is bigger than our two-room apartment
Two room
But we made one of those a red room for your photographs
And my mother said I could stay, long as I called you a phase (Phase)
I remember your face when I first told you that and you laughed
[PreChorus]
Crawling back to my gilded cage
Baby bird's flying and Fido is stuck inside
[Chorus]
You will move to different cities
And I'll still be here sitting pretty
[Verse 1]
I wonder where your car was headed
The day that you packed up and vanished
Did you make it to sunset, or somewhere with similar views?
And I dream about you in my childhood bedroom
Haunted by husbands-to-be
Don the makeup, the earrings, fit every wrong feeling
In skirts that go better with you
[PreChorus]
This blue ribbon's back on display
Fido's a show dog and baby bird's flying away
[Chorus]
You will move to different cities
And I'll still be here sitting pretty
[Verse 2]
You're setting a scene, I'm setting his table
You're laughing in bars, I'm feeding his friends
You're kissing her back, and I'm barely able
To love someone else without playing pretend
Some piece of my heart ran out with you
An echo of what I once was
When I'd choose to be somewhere
In photographs you left behind
Choose to be someone
A smile that I don't recognize
[Bridge]
If Fido's a show dog and baby bird's flying away
Can ribbons still hold her if nothing she's wanted has stayed?
And Fido has plenty, long as she stays in her cage
But nothing is stopping the screaming inside her to change
[Chorus]
You will move to different cities
And I'll still be here sitting pretty
