Fake Price

Intro Verse: When you were given value By one who cared Your heart was lifted From Despair You mattered now You have value But, it was all lies So what shall you do? Chorus 1: You decided to visit them one day You knocked on their door You heard footsteps but no answer You didn't matter anymore You cried and told them You knocked and got no reply "Not worth a cent anymore" They said You've been tagged with a Fake Price Verse: You remembered the times Where you felt priceless For the hope and happiness And their "trusted guidance" Feelings lost and gone Not even worth a cent now Now you sit in despair And wear misery's crown Chorus 2: You asked them in tears If they even cared They said "You're nothing now. As worthless as rat's hair" You've cried and told them You wanted to die Not worth anything to them anymore, You were labeled with a Fake Price That price tag on you read "not even a cent" You wanted to be something You wish to be more than a cent. To. One! You nearly lost all hoooope! The Damage Was Done! Bridge: You. Bled. For. Mooooonths! You thought you were special, you now feel like juuuuuunk! Verse: Now a new face appeared to lift you up gently and do no harm Your value was back! Free from Hades arms! Final Chorus: You came one day And chatted with the new face Your hope and willpower revived Your old price tag was replaced! You stood back up And decided to give it a try If one bares the pain, They will surely be revived! If one values you low, They don't know how great you are Don't accept their Fake Price Because you know you are brighter than the stars! :D
