Lyrics Salesman - Vanessa Carlton

Salesman

You were looking for a partner
Shelter from the cold
He led you to his prism
A prison made of gold
Now you have a baby
She’s looking up at you
And you will try to conceal what she sees
But you can never hide the truth
Now you’re praying on your knees
Mirror, mirror do you like it?
Do you like what you see?
Oh, handsome salesman, sold you heaven
Now you wait for it to fall
Until then you will surrender it all
He kisses you goodnight
He’s dressed for someone else
He says to you, «Honey, don’t you wait up»
And you wake up by yourself
Now you’re praying, back on your knees
Mirror, mirror give me the strength
The strength to believe
Oh, handsome salesman, sold you heaven
Now you wait for it to fall
Until then you will surrender it all
Do what I say, not what I do
What have I done?
Do what I say, not what I do
What have I done?
Do what I say, not what I do
What have I done?
Do what I say, not what I do
Ooh, handsome salesman, sold you heaven
Now you wait for it to fall
Until then you’ll surrender it all
You will surrender it all
You will surrender
You will surrender
You will surrender
You will surrender
