MUSIC FOR SALE

Verse 1:

You thought I was easy to lose,
Easy to leave in the dark
Thought I would beg for your love,
Break at your feet, fall apart
Thought I’d be praying in silence,
Whispering spells in your name,
Sending you pieces of my heart
Wrapped up in perfume and pain

Pre-chorus:

You never knew me at all,
You never saw who I am

Chorus:

I’m not coming back,
Not with tears in my eyes.
I’m not coming back,
Save your prayers this time.
The fire of our nights
Has burned into ash.
I’m not coming back —
I choose myself at last

Verse 2:

You thought I’d drown in your absence,
Chasing your shadow through the rain
Thought I’d erase who I was
Just to feel you again
But I learned how to breathe,
How to stand in the flame,
I walked out of the ashes
And I called my own name

Pre-chorus:

I gave you everything,
Now I take my strength back…

Chorus:

I’m not coming back,
Not with tears in my eyes.
I’m not coming back,
Save your prayers this time
The fire of our nights
Has burned into ash
I’m not coming back —
I choose myself at last

Outro:

Curse me if you need to,
Say I was cold, say I lied,
But loving you almost killed me —
And I survived…
