LYRIC FOR SALE

By Shelley violet Smith

Verse 1
You don’t care about my feelings
Here comes the conversation shut down
You say I know, I know
But it’s so hollow, hollow

You ignore my worries
Let the conversation shut down
You say nothing, nothing
And the silence stings - it rings out

Pre chorus
What’s the aftermath of your avoidance
Does it even reach you
Up on your pedestal of peace
Keeping distance on repeat

Chorus
I didn't want to be
Raising a man child
History on repeat
You never miss a beat
Ooh
Why am I
Raising a man child

Verse 2
Ask me for nothing
That was the message
I heard it loud and clear
Every time you neglect my needs

It must be so easy, being you
While I lay here crying
Fighting for my breath
You don't even notice my distress


Pre chorus
What’s the aftermath of your avoidance
Does it even reach you
Up on your pedestal of peace
Keeping distance on repeat


Chorus
I didn't want to be
Raising a man child
History on repeat
You never miss a beat
Ooh
Why am I
Raising a man child


Bridge
Ooh,
I've been screaming needs
Into the void
Nothing comes back to me
I need to leave
You'll still say the problem is me
Sit with it a while

Pre chorus
Aftermath of your avoidance
Does it even reach you
Up on your pedestal of peace
Kept your distance on repeat

Chorus
I didn't want to be
Raising a man child
History on repeat
You never miss a beat
Ooh
Why am I
Raising a man child

Chorus
Ooh
I wouldn't want to be
Raising a man child
History on repeat
He'll never miss a beat
Ooh
No more
Raising a man child
