Hey You

 

 

Hay you, remember me
I’m the one you hid behind
I’m the truth within the lies
Close your eyes and take me in
Stories of fantasy begin

Little girl
Taste my lips
Sweet in a terrible way
Ache my bones
And mold me like clay
I’ll be your anything
As long as you stay

I’m your pad and pen on a cloudy day
When red raindrops fall like wine
A missing link
To your sweet lies

Hidden hopes and dreams unseen
Take my hand so we can bleed
Heart of an artist
Bind like hemp ropes
And you’ll give in again
All you want
Is all you see
A captive heart will never be set free

So take me in
I’ll take away that grimace
With a sweet and terrible taste

Hey you
Where’ve you been
Hiding in the bushes again
You’re like a snake
A untrustworthy friend
I love you hating me
I love you needing me
I’ll never set your captive heart free

Take me in and bring me back
Take the drink and gulp it down
So you never wonder what might have been
When you said never again

Hey you
In love with me
Hey you
Remember me
Hey you
You’ll never be free of me.
