Rosalind Chia - "Just One Lie"

LYRICS:

Poor little girl. Come and let me hold you.
Did the first one horrify you out of laughter?
The second, the fifth and the seventeenth all thereafter

Now there's one who looks alright, but you can never be sure.
Terrified, you lend him more and more,
knowing that all it would take is just one lie.

I still remember the good times.
We made each other feel so good.
No-one could intrude on the warm warm world
we grew around us, where only the good things mattered.
But you see, it made you numb.
I could never have any more.
Stupid girl, don't you know the score?
Don't you know that he's the ocean. A fading tide.

With you has gone my soul.
And after you I will grow old.

Now you can't get enough.
Now that I'm cried out.
I tried to tell you I was suffering,
but suffering we know is not allowed
And I'm glad you've found your peace.
You've finally asked the right questions.
Only you know the price I've paid.
Only a pound of flesh for just one lie.

With you has gone my soul.
And after you, I will grow old.

@Omegaman69 Yeah I do that just for a bit of leverage and accuracy. My brain sometimes goes to sleep for a couple of seconds and I lose control of my hand. It happens on the odd gig but doesn't really bother me. It just keeps my hand still.
