Simon says by Meave Lynn Lyrics

oh where do you run off to
its not obvious to you
you yell it’s nothing
fill my head with corrupt lies
that you throw in order to give yourself time to hide
i thought all this mess was mine
i guess all good things eventually die
he should of been a ray of light
but he cut deep like an knife
simon says i should of stayed quiet
im his puppet
and he says he doesn’t want to sew my mouth shut
this love was self destructive
but he loved every breathing moment of it
he told me that he burned all our evidence
for a reason
questioning it would be treason
i was just a secret
in our rubble is where he danced
tell me, was love ever there if you cant find records of its heartbeat?
oh i was so entranced
tell me is it too late to try fight defeat?
simon says love takes time
and that no matter how fast i run
he’ll always be mine
no amount of hiding could stop it
simon says love is a game
but he made up all the rules
so effortlessly cruel
was his talent
once he had decided, there was no way of talking him out of it
love was so lucid
didnt understand how i could so easily lose it
i guess thats what happens
when your love doesnt have a foundation
it was a home but also my prison
years later i still haven’t learnt my lesson
that when it catches a light
it ends up burning bright
love was just a chess game
everything to lose
nothing to gain
love and hate are the same
in the eyes of pain

simon says ill be alright
simon says ill be stuck here all my life
simon says its going to be alright
yeah, he says its gonna be alright
