Charli Was Lyrics by Merci Raines

2022

Charli was
Charli was
Charli was
But Charli ain't no more
Charli was
Charli was
Charli was
But Charli ain't no more
Midnight
Fall party at the Bensoir
And Charli's in a black dress
Got her hair rare and down
And every eye in town
Big price
'Cause if it ain't from his light
Once every hand is shook
And he's a charmer in the books
Car ride home
She's gonna pay for that shine
Come down
Just a little lower, love
Don't want you getting too high
Come down
Just a little lower, love
And we'll be just fine
Charli was
Charli was
Charli was
But Charli ain't no more
Charli was
Charli was
Charli was
But Charli ain't no more
In time
He got better with his blurred lines
And she got better with her tears
Whenever anyone was near
Though she hadn't seen a face she'd known in a while
With only him to guide
She didn't see the shift to red tide
She walked a floor of glass
Stuck in walls no one could pass
And day by day, the light was leaving her eyes
Come down
Just a little lower, love
Don't want you getting too high
Come down
Just a little lower, love
And we'll be just fine
Charli was
Charli was
Charli was
But Charli ain't no more
Charli was
Charli was
Charli was
But Charli ain't no more
Chalk lines
Hold a body by the railside
And her old pictures in the news
With a smile when it was true
And every old friend's left tracing the signs
Evening headlines
Paint a girl that lived the good life
Until that one deadly night
Just a tragic ending fight
They don't know how slowly she died
Come down
Just a little lower, love
Don't want you getting too high
Come down
Just a little lower, love
And we'll be just fine
Charli was
Charli was
Charli was
But Charli ain't no more
Charli was
Charli was
Charli was
But Charli ain't no more
Oh, the worst damage
Don't always happen in one blow
Sometimes, the worst damage
Is done because it's done
Oh, so slow
Charli was
Charli was
Charli was
But Charli ain't no more
Charli was
Charli was
Charli was
But Charli ain't no more
(Just a little lower, love)
(Just a little lower, love)
(Just a little lower, love)
(Just a little lower, love)
