Melba


You slip your grips to feel
The drugs to make it real
Surprised that you've survived
But you've never compromised
Now child, just wait awhile
You think he'll make you smile
Instead you've been misled
The feelings you've been fed

You sold yourself a lie tonight
Like a star blown out so bright
One last struggle, a blinding light
That's all that's left tonight
It's all that's left tonight

All the mistakes you fake
So fast, you've locked your brakes
To feed on what you need
Until the rest concede
Disarmed, you're still alarmed
There's shelter in his arms
You're prone to be disowned
This feeling's overblown

You sold yourself a lie tonight
Like a star blown out so bright
One last struggle, a blinding light
That's all that's left tonight
It's all that's left tonight

You choose to take it out
Responses met with doubt
I guess the future's bleak
It's wasted on the meek

And if that's all there is
Your name is on the list
Detoxicate your love
And then rise up above

You sold yourself a lie tonight
Like a star blown out so bright
One last struggle, a blinding light
That's all that's left tonight
It's all that's left tonight

You sold yourself a love tonight
You know two wrongs won't make it right
Out of mind and out of sight
That's all that's left tonight
It's all that's left tonight
