A Place to Hide

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 place But I was just a place to hide A place to hide 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 Will I die hopeful That you are coming home to me? I heard your need in that phone call And you didn't even have to speak I still remember when we crashed your bike The flash of red above your eye Back then I was your safe place But now I'm just a place to hide A place to hide And the ambulance came crashing Through the town around me They carried you away And I just hoped to God you'd found your peace The Devil in your mind There is no cure for that disease Oh did I keep the pain at bay or Did I just watch you bleed? I still remember when we crashed your bike I think about it all the time You were searching for a safe place But there's no hiding from the ghost inside The ghost inside
