LYRIC FOR SALE

By Christina Mae Watson

[Verse 1]
I gave you fifteen years all my love
Built my world on your fragile trust
I was the fire I was the light
You snuffed me out in the dead of night
You didn't use a knife, or a gun
The woman I was is gone
Undone
A quiet kill behind closed doors
Left me cold
Upon the floor

[Chorus]
You murdered the girl who used to dream
Shattered her soul at the silent seems
I'm just a shell but I will rise
With a hardened heart and sharper eyes
Fifteen years burned in the dark
I will rebuild from the broken parts

[Verse]
I learned to live in your shadowed cage
Lost my voice
Buried my rage.
But embers spark where ashes sleep
I'll take back the soul
You tried to keep
I'm stitching together the girl I knew
A battle scarred version forged and new
Your ghost can't haunt these bones of steel
I'll rise from the ruins I'm learning to heal

[Chorus]
You murdered the girl who used to dream
Shattered her soul at the silent seems
I'm just a shell, but I will rise
With a hardened heart and sharper eyes.
Fifteen years burned in the dark
I will rebuild from the broken parts

[Verse]
I will forgive I won't forget
I'll wear the scars like a battle vest
From the ashes I claim my name
A woman reborn untamed by shame
You murdered the girl who used to dream
I found her strength in my own scream
I was a shell now I ignite
With a hardened heart I reclaim my life

[Outro]
Fifteen years gone to the dark
I've rebuilt beauty from the broken parts
Fifteen years I gave away
Today I walk away.
The woman you killed is gone for good
And the one that's left is made
Of sweat and blood
