MUSIC FOR SALE

Lyrics-by Donna Bill

Pulled my hair back
Saw a stranger in the mirror light
Tiny lines like
streams cross the face I use to cover
Every year leaves
Little notes along my skin
Every doubt I ever had
Whispers from within

These fine lines
They’re writing me
Every tear
Every soft apology
I’ve been changing
Still afraid of what I see
But I’m learning how to stand in the new me
Let the years roll over me like waves
I’m still breaking
Still becoming who I am
Fine lines
Finer heart
I’m stronger than I planned

Been told I talk too much
Now I worry that I should stay quiet
but that's not me
Counting wishes
On the nights I feel too small
But the stories in my eyes
Hold me when I fall

These fine lines
They’re writing me
Every tear
Every soft apology
I’ve been changing
Still afraid of what I see
But I’m learning how to stand in the new me
Let the years roll over me like waves
I’m still breaking
Still becoming who I am
Fine lines
Finer heart
I’m stronger than I planned

What if every mistake
Was proof I made it here
Every quiet fear
A light in the dark
What if beauty’s just
The courage not to turn away
From the tender parts of me

These fine lines
They’re writing me
Every tear
Every soft apology
Yea, these fine lines are writing me
