Shock Value (For My Folk Punk Brethren) Lyrics by Lokeigh

If I Had Words

2013

[Chorus]
There's nothing edgy about, comparing tears to rain
Whispering "I love you" or singing about your pain
[Verse 1]
If you told me that you loved me, it wouldn't be a bombshell
I'd just kiss you and smile waiting on us is hell
Like that Tuesday was raining, I sat down tilt stairs
Took pictures of the scenery I wonder if you care
But, I got over it the second you pulled up
Goes my song on your stereo, you cussing your bad love
[Chorus]
There's nothing edgy about, comparing tears to rain
Whispering "I love you" or singing about your pain
Does shock value even work? when we know who you really are
Just a smart really friendly folk, whose making music from his scars
[Post-Chorus]
Why do we try to shock? I love the people anyway
We're begging for attention by pushing everyone away
But I don't want to keep you up at night don't wanna haunt your past
Just clapping while you singing, that's all we really asked
[Verse 2]
If you told me that you loved me, you should do it in a song
Anger that's a wreak but you want to sing happy songs
'Cause your shock values is getting old guess it's going out of style
But you can't put a press from your love; Let alone your smile
Put away your cap gun, your candy cigarettes
Sing me a melody, I promise you I won't forget ​
[Chorus]
There's nothing edgy about, comparing tears to rain
Whispering "I love you" or singing about your pain
Does shock value even work? when we know who you really are
Just a smart really friendly folk, whose making music from his scars
[Post-Chorus]
Why do we try to shock? I love the people anyway
We're begging for attention by pushing everyone away
But I don't want to keep you up at night don't wanna haunt your past
Just clapping while you singing, that's all we really asked
[Outro]
There's nothing edgy about, comparing tears to rain
