Mark Kelly - Real Tears for Sale lyrics

Such a pretty girl The anger didn't hide it You shaved your head, pulled a face Dressed yourself up without grace It didn't hide a lifetime's damage It didn't hide a lifetime's fears Against your better judgement You put your whole self up for sale The horror show when you were young We couldn't wait to hear about it But even who*es Don't kiss with tongues Nonetheless I do believe You cry real tears Real tears for sale Real tears for sale Real tears for sale Real tears for sale The wrong side of a lifetime's drinking It's where it seems I'm coming from I took my demons by the hand Bent them, twisted them Until they scanned and rhymed And I took your love And all the hurt inside Laid it out on the market stall Agony at a knockdown price Reduced to clear is what I cry The wrong side of a lifetime's wishful thinking Dragged me here to pills and ale Come and listen Come and listen to my tale Come and get it Real tears for sale Real tears for sale Real tears for sale Real tears for sale All the hurt All the secrets All the damage All the shame All the dirty absolutions All the rage All the rage All the rage
