consolation prize

sharon van etten

i came to you

my conscience clean

blood on my knees. the moral of the story

is don't walk away again. i called you out

to see my bow

our final scene. the moral of the story

is don't look away again

to find a better conversation. i saw you there

your friends aware

without a care. the moral of the story

is don't lie to me again

to find a better conversation

so i can be your consolation prize

you ran away

to stand your ground

look what i found. the moral of the story

is don't walk away again

to find a better conversation

so i can be your consolation prize. to find a better conversation

no

i'll never be your consolation prize
