MUSIC FOR SALE

Verse 1

I used to take the beauty at its word
Believed the song meant everything it said
Not foolish, just still open to the world
Still leaving room for something true ahead

Pre-Chorus

But there's a note I've heard before
It always finds the same place in my chest
I know the promise in the sound
I know what happens if I follow it

Chorus

I know your Siren song
I've heard that melody before
You can make a lie sound so beautiful
But it just won't work here anymore

I don't need anyone to save me
So stop thinking that I do
I will burn you at the stake tomorrow
If you're not true

Verse 2

You're singing it so perfectly tonight
Every word knows exactly where to land
You found the places I once tried to hide
And touched them like you somehow understand

And God, I'd like to believe you
That's the part I won't deny
But wanting something to be real
Has never made it true

Pre-Chorus

The beauty's real
I still feel something when it starts
But beauty doesn't make it true
And wanting doesn't make it ours

Chorus

I know your Siren song
I've heard that melody before
You can make a lie sound so beautiful
But it just won't work here anymore

I don't need anyone to save me
So stop thinking that I do
I will burn you at the stake tomorrow
If you're not true

Bridge

I don't need you to stop singing
I don't need to prove you wrong
I can love the sound you're making
And still not follow where it's gone

I don't need to hate the beauty
Just because I know the cost
I can stand here at the shoreline
And not become another lost

Final Chorus

I know your Siren song
And God, it's beautiful tonight
You can sing me every promise
You can make it sound just right

I don't need anyone to save me
And I don't need saving from you
So sing it like you mean it
And I'll wait to see what's true

Outro

Let her sing
Let her sing
I know exactly what it means
Let her sing

Then I turn and walk away
Nothing left I need to say
The sun will rise like any other day

Let her sing.
