"Traded"

Under your cover
I always felt safe
Never to wander
Or fear a mistake
Heard all you said
And I took it at face
But then you traded me
Yeah, I got traded away

You work and you worry
You only get by
Convinced that your steps
Will lead to stars in the sky
Without ever thinking
About the other's reply
Like when you traded me
Yeah, I got traded away

[chorus]
I never thought
Yeah, did I ever even cross your mind?
I never thought
You'd let me see this far to leave me blind
I heard a shot
And it wasn't from the enemy line
But I'll be just fine

You made me believe
I could really be brave
That I could step up
To be the things that I crave
I thought my love could be real
But then my love was replaced
The way you traded it
Yeah, why'd you trade it away?
Why'd you trade it away?

[chorus]
I never thought
Yeah, did I ever even cross your mind?
I never thought
You'd let me see this far to leave me blind
I heard a shot
And it wasn't from the enemy line
This time, no it's a clear-cut crime
So if you're the one who hurt me
Why do I feel like I'm doing the time?

Your heart is so cold
Look at the things that you hold
No I can't promise that they'll turn into gold
But you're so, intent on letting them go
Before they begin to show
And bloom, from the seeds
You were never even willing to sew

[chorus]
I never thought
Yeah, did I ever even cross your mind?
I never thought
You'd let me see this far to leave me blind
I heard a shot
And it wasn't from the enemy line
[repeat]

But I'll be just fine
