LYRIC FOR SALE

By Sally Elwan

Verse 1
We were best friends on a fragile line, Counting stars, ignoring signs
Swore our love would always stay,
Didn’t know I’d have to learn to walk away


Chorus
We ran straight into a dying sun
Swore our fire was the only one
Now the weight I breathe in every day Is being known by you-then thrown away
You say you miss who I used to be, maybe that’s true
But she faded out the moment you chose you I bled to learn what peace could mean
You still see purple, my favorite color is green

Verse 2
You watched them tear me down in front of you,
Swallowed your spine like cowards do
You shook your head but bit your tongue, Let me bleed so you'd belong You call that love? That quiet disguise?
Standing neutral while I paid the price Silence is a choice-you chose to hide, And cowards don't protect, they stand aside.


Chorus

We ran straight into a dying sun Swore our fire was the only one
Now the weight I breathe in every day Is being known by you-then thrown away
You say you miss who I used to be, maybe you do
But she faded out the moment you chose you I bled to learn what peace could mean
You still see purple l've turned green

Bridge
I don’t hate you, I just outgrew
The version of me that stayed for you…


Final Chorus
Yeah, we rode off into the night,
Chasing dreams in taillight lines
But I won’t shrink to fit your scene,
I’m brighter now, I’m evergreen


Outro
So miss the girl I used to be,
She was the price of choosing me …
She’s gone for good — and so are we.
