The Grapevines of Disgrace
Inspired by Love in the Dark by Adele and Oh My God by Adele as well :)
I don’t trust anyone anymore…
Don’t care to love you to the core…
Why give in to your charms?
Why decide to be in your arms?
I can care less…you left me sore
Spent time together, not anymore
If you would be so kind,
Don’t stare into my eyes of flaws
For I’m no fool left behind
Your love for me is a lost cause
I know your mind
And it’s cruel to the touch
I was oh so blind
Sorry I loved you so much
I am too ashamed and insignificant
To look you in the eyes
Cuz you are so cruel and arrogant
With your envious lies
I heard it through the grapevines
The grapevines of disgrace…
Right in front of our face
Is life’s tribulant race
So, keep pace…
I know who you slept with
Won’t like you as much as I did
I also know it’s not a myth
We were only a goodbye to bid
You gave me bad love, can’t deny
Never come back, baby, don’t you cry
If you would be so kind,
Don’t stare into my eyes of flaws
For I’m no fool left behind
Your love for me is a lost cause
I know your mind
And it’s cruel to the touch
I was oh so blind
Sorry I loved you so much
I am too ashamed and insignificant
To look you in the eyes
Cuz you are so cruel and arrogant
With your envious lies
I heard it through the grapevines
The grapevines of disgrace…
Right in front of our face
Is life’s tribulant race
So, keep pace…
Too ashamed to look you in the eyes
I won’t ever fall for your prideful lies
After you said it, it left me out of the blue
Far too ashamed of losing the true you
Over the grapevines of disgrace
In your heart, I was without a trace
If you would be so kind,
Don’t stare into my eyes of flaws
For I’m no fool left behind
Your love for me is a lost cause
I know your mind
And it’s cruel to the touch
I was oh so blind
Sorry I loved you so much
I am too ashamed and insignificant
To look you in the eyes
Cuz you are so cruel and arrogant
With your envious lies
I heard it through the grapevines
The grapevines of disgrace…
Right in front of our face
Is life’s tribulant race
So, keep pace…
I was to blame for words I cannot undo
Like the knotted lace of your shoes
I am a red rose on your front porch too
As we bid our bittersweet adieus
And fell into the grapevines of disgrace
In your heart, I was without a trace
Torn apart cuz I was never in the race
Of your heartbeats beating…
You goodbyed my greeting…
Now, I have to endure life’s beating
