LYRIC FOR SALE

By Andy Shipp

V1
There’s a shadow
Lying in the doorway
Where the light
Used to come through
I keep finding pieces of us
In everything I do
We were stitched together
So carefully
Now I’m pulling
At the seams

C
Does it feel
Like silk on your skin
Or is it just a lie
We’re living in
Every perfect thread
Begins to fray
Tell me,
Did our colours
Fade away

V2
I folded every memory
Like your clothes
You left behind
I still wear the words

You stitched in me

The pattern we made

Is hard to see

Every loose strand 

Still pulls on me

C
Does it feel
Like silk on your skin
Or is it just a lie
We’re living in
Every perfect thread
Begins to fray
Tell me,
Did our colours
Fade away

B
A touch of velvet
Once so tender
Warm to hold

Now there’s nothing
Left between us
A memory so cold

Will it always be black
Lost in the dark
Or can the colours
Come back

C
Does it feel
Like silk on your skin
Or is it just a lie
You’re living in
Every perfect thread
Begins to fray
Tell me,
Did your colours
Fade away

O
Every thread
Every seam
Every colour
In between

Begins to fray…

Fades away
