Dean Parker - You

Hold you back 'I saved your life', went a little far this time
You got clipped, they ran away and let the heat die off
Truth is cruel and you were the pray, carrion when the crowds all faded
Esoteric Monday mornings brought out the worst in them

Now nineteen and five years old is where I seem to be
I lied last time, by you I meant I, some purposeful deceit
Looking through new Polaroids my brother takes of my mistakes
Before I try to sleep it off and breathe, realising who’s to blame but

I don’t owe you anything at all
I don’t owe you anything at all

One day that keeps creeping up, is the one where I wish I was drunk
Turned around to find you stood before the big wheel line
My parents laughed as your rents joked, how was I to know they spoke?
A beretta for a smile and blinkers in your pocket to hide their eyes

I don’t owe you anything at all
I don’t owe you anything at all

Back there on the left in the smoke of your friend’s cigarette
Looking less Beretta and more bereft, Something changed the wind
Whatever it was, did it happen fast? Or did they make it last?
I’ve seen that face myself before from all those yesterdays

A midnight box of matches, now that might do the trick
Is what you had me thinking then and I might still think at twenty-six
Just got caught across the way, it returned, familiar face
There I was sat hoping, hoping that you’d learned someday so

I don’t owe you anything at all
I don’t owe you anything at all
I don’t owe you anything at all
I don’t owe you anything at all
