LYRIC FOR SALE

By Caitlyn Callery

Vows of faith and love and eternity,
All the things that I believed,
Covered a future of uncertainty
When you practised to deceive.
And here I am, alone and lost,
Who knew what loving you would cost?

You were my best dreams, personified
When I first fell into your arms.
I imagined life riding by your side,
All wrapped up in your sweet charms.
And all the time I never knew
The deep down, dirty, real you.

Till here I am, alone and lost,
Who knew what loving you would cost?

It starts so slow. I didn't know.
You drew me in. I couldn't win.
You fed my fears, and loved my tears.
You fed my fears, and loved, and loved, and loved…
My tears.

You made a prison no one else could see
Then you locked me deep inside.
You made sure to throw away the key,
No escape, nowhere to hide.
You left me here, alone and lost.
This is what loving you has cost.

Yes, here I am, alone and lost.
Who knew what loving you would cost?
