Reap What You Sow - Matt Elliott

Look at you now

Proud and lonely

Lost in belief

That you’re the only one

Who knows all there’s to know

But there’s one thing you obviously don’t

If you don’t let some good people get close to you

Then you’ll fade too soon

Doubts and woe will follow wherever you go

Disappointment’s all you’ll know

Then you’ll know

You’ve reaped what you’ve sown

Look at you now

Pretty and lonely

Float way above the lost and lowly

Far too proud, too gorgeous for us down below

And so you find yourself alone

It’s such a lonesome throne

Empty eyes will follow wherever you go

Until you find you’re on your own

Then you’ll know

You’ve reaped what you’ve sown

Look at you now

A figure to die for

Suitors are queued with the same old lies

And so you pick as you desire

But you still end up crying

Your one disgrace, the arrogant look on your face

All your beauty thus erased

It’s such a tragic waste

Look at you now

Old and lonely

Buckets of tears and an empty home

A life spent hiding, sheltered away from the storm

Never found a flame to warm

Just shallow smokes like yours

And when you die

The angels are overflown

Your last pearl is all you own

Then perhaps you’ll know
