silly little things

shannon saunders

name calling

you were driving fast

my head leaning out the car

my chin to the sky

i wanted to feel upper class

you grabbed my shoulders

said i looked like a superstar

fast like a supercar

heading for the busy bar

the breeze had me choked up

like the waves in the storm that we broke up

lips on my knuckles

can't face me in a trance

dancing on the floor

now we're drunk smoking a big cigar

let's face it

your replacement is

all the hopes and the dreams

you took right out of me

i've outgrown your

all of your silly little things

outgrown those silly little games

and it's such a

a shame

outgrown your

all of your silly little things

outgrown those silly little games

and it's such a

a shame

free falling

we forgot this part

my thoughts take me to the start

my words don't sink in

i can tell by the way you laugh

ropes unravelled

ruins in the rubble

we're both in trouble

stop calling

whisper on my own

words that i've heard on repeat getting louder

like your screaming through a megaphone

you don't have to know

if you let me go

let's face it

your replacement is

all the hopes and the dreams

you took right out of me

i've outgrown your

all of your silly little things

outgrown those silly little games

and it's such a

a shame

outgrown your

all of your silly little things

outgrown those silly little games

and it's such a

a shame

and now

i'm feeling down

i can't turn back 'round

i need to block you out

i've outgrown your

all of your silly little things

outgrown those silly little games

and it's such a

a shame

outgrown your

all of your silly little things

outgrown those silly little games

and it's such a

a shame

shame

shame

shame
