LYRIC FOR SALE

By Shelley violet Smith

Verse 1
The signs were there
Flashing like sirens in my head
I ignored it
Turned down the volume
Let silence fill the cracks instead
I thought I knew better
Than every warning I read


Pre chorus
So why do I cry?
When I preferred the lie?
So tell me… why do I cry
When I knew…
I knew all about you
Oooh, oooh

Chorus
The sign isn’t getting any redder
And I can’t pretend I knew better
You do what you want
I close my eyes tight
Try to dim the light
And it still burns


Verse 2
Is this what I thought I deserved?
I wanted the warning sign gone
To love a broken man
Even knowing he’s never happy
With everything he’s got
I push the thoughts aside
And question the cost


Pre chorus
So why do I cry?
When I preferred the lie?
So tell me… why do I cry
When I knew…
I knew all about you
Oooh, oooh


Chorus
The sign isn’t getting any redder
And I can’t pretend I knew better
You do what you want
I close my eyes tight
Try to dim the light
And it still burns


Bridge
My choices take their toll on me
There’s a lesson in this story
Watch the signs… don’t look away
Don’t paint red with a green disguise


I said I knew all about you
Did I really have a clue?


Pre chorus
So why do I cry?
When I preferred the lie?
So tell me… why do I cry
When I knew…
I knew all about you
Oooh, oooh

Chorus
The sign isn’t getting any redder
And I can’t pretend I knew better
You do what you want
I close my eyes tight
Try to dim the light
And it still burns

Oooh, oooh
I was warned about you
