Sold Out

lyrics

last few standing

I read in the paper

it happened again

I guess those bridges that you burned

bought their way back up again

we’re suddenly strangers

someone has to tell you my name

I saw you last night

it was clear that you had changed

you sold out your mercy

you won the chance to begin

now you’d be lucky in a fight

to get your ass kicked

by a couple of friends

why didn’t you call me

I would’ve come

I’ve imagined this day

a million times since I was young

it wouldn’t have been easy

tell me what is

it’s just what we'll end up paying

for a stolen kiss

you got some reasons

you like to call them your own

they’re just as sure enough
as the gypsy
calls the road his home

you got some pieces

you like to call them a heart

when they’re just the last few standing
after most of it was blown apart

why didn’t you call me

I would’ve come

I’ve imagined this day

a million times since I was young

it wouldn’t have been easy

tell me what is

it’s just what you'll end up paying

for a stolen kiss

I watched you for hours

those hours turned into years

I’ve watched you spend more time without her

than any mother dares to fear

why didn’t you call me

I would’ve come

I’ve imagined this day

a million times since I was young

it wouldn’t have been easy

tell me what is

i guess it's what we'll end up paying

for a stolen kiss
