about

This song is written about a girl in a controlling relationship. It is written as if to the "keeper" with instructions on how to "keep her". I have plans to make a music video for this in Sweeden in November. Watch this space!

lyrics

Here’s a song for anyone
Who’s lost themselves and come undone
And dulled the lust til it was love
It’s better to be numb

None will show what time has tried
Til someone’s heart becomes their mind
She’s just like everyone outside
What damage can she hide

--chorus--
And just when you’ve done all you can to break her
Take her by the hand and tell her that you love her
Tell her she’s magi cal
Don’t break her bones use words instead
You’ve got to get inside her head
To keep her by your side in bed
--
Here’s the girl so full of guilt
And here’s the house that promise built
This is the word that kept her still
That lay her back to rest

Here’s the maiden all forlorn
You kiss her just when trust is worn
The past so easy to ignore
She’s torn

--
And just when you’ve done all you can to break her
Take her by the hand and tell her that you love her
Tell her she’s magi cal
Don’t break her bones use words instead
You’ve got to get inside her head
To keep her by your side in bed
--

Here’s a song for anyone
Who’s torn her down then built her up
But these mistakes can’t be undone
Don’t follow when she runs
