Hanna Elise - Lily of the Nile Lyrics

Red dresses and 70's vinyl
You watched me get wasted I watched you get high
You kept me guessing for so long, I was putty in your hands

Flashback to your lips on my neck
Kissing me 'till I turned different shades of blue and black
Twisted sheets and infantile smiles
That's when I knew I'd never be your Lily of the Nile

I felt myself start to unravel
Every tender touch pushed me further into exile
An open-ended transaction that I desperately wanted to reconcile

Flashback to your lips on my neck
Kissing me 'till I turned different shades of blue and black
Twisted sheets and infantile smiles
That's when I knew I'd never be your Lily of the Nile

I thought I wanted to be used
Thought I wouldn't get attached or feel abused

Flashback to your lips on my neck
Kissing me 'till I turned different shades of blue and black
Twisted sheets and infantile smiles
That's when I knew I'd never be your Lily of the Nile
