Song Lyrics

"New Shiny Shoes"

by Sandra McCracken
Album: The Crucible

It's been almost two years now since I saw you last
Sorry I remember you anyway, 'cause you won't escort me out of your past
So you better just leave me here, 'cause I knew you'd win
Just take your new shiny shoes, you don't have to be my friend

Go ahead and walk away, sever these last ties
I am nothing but a breath, you're nothing but a lie

You got the last word when you left, put me in my place
And you went off to your wild dreams, gone without a trace
While you followed a yellow brick road (to thine own self be true),
And when you choose to go that way, in the end there's only you

Go ahead and walk away, sever these last ties
I am nothing but a breath, you're nothing but a lie

High on the sound of your own name and this fleeting fanfare
A common ground has fallen down, as if it was never there
While I'm still wearing the same old dress, my heart has come alive
And I will wait for your return if you'd ever change your mind

Go ahead and walk away, sever these last ties
I am nothing but a breath, you're nothing but a lie (2x)
