Atonement - Corinne

I’ll start with a hook:

I didn’t think that I could think so much

And it’s just my luck

That it was you that I was thinking of

I tried to read the Bible

But I figured I’d write my own

For my lover, my Lord and Savior

But the world wasn’t in my favor

You said you’d write me a letter

I thought that meant you’d forget her

You complimented my cursive writing

But a battle for you is not one worth fighting

I read a book, attended a wake

It got me thinking ‘bout dying

I fear that I’ll die alone

I fear that I’ll die before I’m known

I fear that I’m losing my youth

I’m bathing in rose water

‘Cause if I don’t have my beauty, don’t have my touch

Will my words really mean that much?

You said you’d write me a letter

I thought that meant you’d forget her

You complimented my cursive writing

But a battle for you is not one worth fighting

And I’m reaching out;

where’s my reward?

I used to be the girl everyone adored

And I found myself when I was lost in the moment

And here’s what I get, here’s my atonement

Oh, here’s my atonement

Oh, here’s my atonement
