Consolation Prize - Sharon Van Etten

I came to you

My conscience clean

Blood on my knees

The moral of the story is

Don’t walk away again

I called you out

To see my bow

Our final scene

The moral of the story is

Don’t look away again

To find a better conversation

I saw you there

Your friends aware

Without a care

The moral of the story is

Don’t lie to me again

To find a better conversation

So I can be your consolation prize

You ran away

To stand your ground

Look what I found

The moral of the story is

Don’t walk away again

To find a better conversation

So I can be your consolation prize

To find a better conversation

No, I’ll never be your consolation prize
