Hopes Away - Eight Legs

Hold your hopes away

Because I’m not gonna say

What you want me to say

Because that wouldn’t be fair

When I don’t think that way

You know

I can’t take your pain away

Stand up in the crowd

Go and do yourself

But I won’t be around

No I won’t be around

Don’t talk to me

Don’t let me see

Don’t tell me what

You mean for me

I won’t be around

I don’t want you around

Oh no

She’s got plans for me

But she hasn’t a clue

How to make them come true

She does portraits of me

But she can’t even see who I am

No one really can

So abandon your plans

And escape while you can

Because you don’t understand

That’s it out of you hands

Don’t talk to me

Don’t let me see

Don’t tell me what

You need from me

I won’t be around

I don’t want you around

Don’t talk to me

Don’t let me see

Don’t tell me what

You think of me

I will drag it down

You know I’ll drag it down, down, down

Oh we go down

Darling

Your drivel

Is so uninspiring

Listening to you

Is both boring and tiring

It’s not going to happen

So stop your admiring

Because I’ll keep on dodging

The bullets you’re firing
