LYRIC FOR SALE

By Shelley violet Smith

Verse 1
I can’t see you
It’s something I’ve got used to
The devoted boyfriend
To your clueless girlfriend

You’re always back again
Just to drag me back in
My tragic addiction


Chorus
I'll see you again
In 71 days
When you remember my name
I'll start all over again
I've been sober of you
For 71 days
Mmm 71 days


Verse 2
You came and went
Right on time again
Back to your character
For 71 days you’ll play

And I’ll detox until you return
It’s etched into my skin
I’m wired to depend on it


Chorus
I'll see you again
In 71 days
When you remember my name
I'll start all over again
I’ve been sober of you
For 71 days
Mmm… 71 days
(…again)


Bridge
I feel it… creeping in
Has it been 71 days yet?
I admit I wait for it

Does she know
You puncture my skin
Pull me under again?


Chorus
I'll see you again
In 71 days
When you remember my name
I'll start all over again
I’ve been sober of you
For 71 days
Mmm… 71 days
(…again)


Chorus
I see you again
Every 71 days
When you need my name
I start all over again
I was almost sober of you
For 71 days
Mmm… 71 days


Outro
Day one…
Of 71 days...
