Siren
I loved this girl from first sight
I was the darkness, she was my light...
She told me, "Hey babe, you're gonna be a star,
you're gonna make it big, you're gonna make it far!"...
I don't know what I've been told but
I aint gettin' younger, just growin' cold...
So I told my momma I'm gonna make money
She said, "Alright, just don't be late honey..."
Spent all my money to make it there
Didn't have no worries, didn't have a care...
So I tried it out, got kicked to the curb
How did she lie, how'd she have the nerve...
Never thought she would lie to me
But to get the truth I guess we gotta pay fees...
I asked her what she meant by far, she said
"Not all of us make it, some are fallin' stars..."
Woke up and turned to talk to her
She was my medicine, but there was no cure...
Never made it back, couldn't get my feet
Coulnd't find the rhythm, couldn't find the beat...
I met her again, I saw her cruisin'
She's flyin' high while I'm down here losin'...
I thought I could try and make it right
But I lost it all, I had no more fight...
I guess that's what I get for wantin' fun
My money's spent, my race is run...
