Paid For Lyrics by Allison Ponthier

Faking My Own Death

2021

[Verse 1]
I slept by your side
Even when your mattress was on the floor
The room was so small
We couldn’t close the door, close the door
[Pre-Chorus]
And we made plans that were premature
Two kids playing house back then
[Chorus]
While you were playing to a sea of faces
In a stranger place than our spot on the 4th floor
Wish I could have told you how they bought and sold you
I can’t reach you anymore
You made the mistake of putting all your faith
In friends that you paid for
Oh, you paid for
[Verse 2]
I was by your side
Even when the wolves were at your heels
Guess nothing else mattered
After you got your deal, your deal
[Pre-Chorus]
We made plans that were premature
Two kids playing house back then
[Chorus]
While you were playing to a sea of faces
In a stranger place than our spot on the 4th floor
Wish I could have told you how they bought and sold you
I can’t reach you anymore
You made the mistake of putting all your faith
In friends that you paid for
Oh, you paid for
Oh, like you paid for
[Chorus]
While you were playing to a sea of faces
In a stranger place than our spot on the 4th floor
Wish I could have told you how they bought and sold you
I can’t reach you anymore (I can’t reach you)
You made the mistake of putting all your faith
In friends that you paid for
Oh, you paid for
Oh, like you paid for
