Carolyn Mark - Dirty Little Secret lyrics

Faded and jaded like roses, red roses, shrivelled petals My scars are medals Poisoned insides rotten like milk I was best before, best before, best before now Hope's expired Eager got fired And ready got tired of waiting And half aspirations and a deep love of wine Keep me down in the dark where the footlights don't shine I'll be lounging and scrounging Till the day that i die Far from stardom and down on the ground Easily swayed from salvation delayed Lingering shadows obscured by the sounds Of the ones before, ones before, ones before me
