LYRIC FOR SALE

By Shelley violet Smith

---

Verse 1
I always respond,
I’m left on read.
I can't explain
the pain I feel.

I played my part,
you will return.
My head spins
with every text you send.


---

Chorus
She lets you go,
you try to stay.
She wants you now,
you ghost away.


---

Hook
Ricochet… ricochet,
coming back again.


---

Verse 2
I loved you once,
you left me twice.
You text again,
no reply.

Left on read,
no words to give.
Deep regrets
for my part in this.


---

Chorus
She lets you go,
you try to stay.
She wants you now,
you ghost away.


---

Hook
Ricochet… ricochet,
coming back again.


---

Verse 3
Back and forth,
here then gone.
Up and down,
you know it’s wrong.

I text you back,
no response.
I block your number.

You text me now,
failed to send—
no ricochet.

When will I,
when will I learn
to walk away?

When will I,
when will I
be ready…

To let you go,
don’t return.
I don’t want you now—
ghost away.


---

Final Hook / Ending
Ricochet… ricochet,
won’t come back again.
