Candid Lyrics by Bess Atwell

Hold Your Mind

2016

[Verse 1]
Send me down the river, won't you babe
I was made of pretty things
Before you came to taint it
Hide away just so it doesn't rain
Hold on tight and so might I
To soften all your pain

No I didn't mind what you saw
In the light, score after score

[Chorus]
But I don't know you anymore
Through man your beast is showing
Through gritted teeth I'm glowing
From a bad dream to the floor
When my love don't speak your language
When hearts can never be candid

[Verse 2]
Now I'm scared to step foot in this house
Remove my shoes and make sure that
I'm quiet as a mouse
I run away and in my dreams I find
Your reasons and the secrecy
Were all just in my mind

But I fought for us, you were blind to see
I held that sword for you and me

[Chorus]
But I don't know you anymore
Through man your beast is showing
Through gritted teeth I'm glowing
From a bad dream to the floor
When my love don't speak your language
When hearts can never be candid

[Bridge]
Never be candid, never be candid, never be candid
Never be
Never be candid, never be candid, never be candid
Never be

[Chorus]
But I don't know you anymore
Through man your beast is showing
Through gritted teeth I'm glowing
From a bad dream to the floor
When my love don't speak your language
When hearts can never be candid
(Never be candid, never be candid, never be candid)
