She was born with silver in her veins.
It flowed through
And stained her eyes.
She believes this is what defines her.
She was born with silver in her blood.
She was more than fiery
And her screams washed over me.
She knew she was priceless.
She was born with silver in her fingertips.
She coloured what she touched
And I agreed she was priceless.
She thought she knew what priceless was.
I was born with gold in my heart.
She thought she was worth my life
But the fact she couldn't sense my gold
Was what made her unworthy.
We are all born with iron in our souls.
Priceless in different ways
Even different colours and shapes.
Don't let a girl with silver tell you otherwise.
