A Place to Hide - Nieves

Do you just want to be with someone

Or do you want to be with me?

I know you’ve had your troubles

So I won’t interfere with your sleep

I only see you when you’re lonely

You only see me on my knees

I’m always begging for rain

But I am never dressed appropriately

But I die hopeful

That you are coming home to me

Your voice broke in that phone call

And I had never heard a sound so sweet

I still remember when we crashed your bike

We were young, drunk, and high

You said I was your safe plac

But I was just a place to hide

A place to hid

And you hate the fact that I’m so serious

Even though you know I’ve had to be

I was far too close in age to my mother

She was just a child when she had me

Now you only deal in spite and stories

And you cast them up constantly

How am I supposed to be there for you

When you keep saying it’s not me you need
