Dear Abi Lyrics by PET NEEDS

Primetime Entertainment

2023

[Intro]
Ready (ready)
Yep
Action!

[Verse 1]
Dear Abi
Let me start by saying how proud I am that you're an artist
It's in the blood running through both our veins
Keep having ideas
Never stop throwing paint
On canvas with conviction
A lie told right
Can be more beautiful than the truth at times
Dear Abi
Never stop having ideas

[Verse 2]
When I was seven years old
My aunty dug her nails in my arm
As she leant in and whispered
"Do you miss your real dad?"
Only looking back do I understand how sadistic that was
My real dad was the man who raised me
Second person to hold me as a baby
DNA doesn't dictate parеnting ability
He was far from perfect, but brilliant to mе

[Verse 3]
Abi
You look like me
And I've never said that to any other person
This brings with it questions of identity
And answers I've honestly been running from
I'm terrified that you know the guy
Who's half of why I'm alive
Compartmentalised in my mind my whole life
On canvas with conviction
A lie told right
Can be more beautiful than the truth at times

[Chorus]
You sketch in your notepad
As I sing to voice notes
In both of our work we deal in the dramatic
I write in my bedroom as you paint in yours
Life is too messy for a tidy narrative

[Verse 4]
Abi
You have taught me to make things beautiful
Just 'cause it feels good
I love how you can embrace the mundane
In bright technicolour
This feeling is strength
We're brother and sister raised by different father's
Similar compositions by different artists
On canvas with conviction
A lie told right
Can be more beautiful than the truth at times

[Extended Chorus]
You sketch in your notepad as I sing to voice notes
In both of our work we deal in the dramatic
I write in my bedroom as you paint in yours
Life is too messy for a tidy narrative
I wanna get to know you
Come to an exhibition
You should come to a show soon
Next time we're in London
On canvas with conviction, the truth told right
Can be more beautiful than a lie

[Outro]
Dear Abi
Let me start by saying how proud I am that you're an artist
It's in the blood running through both our veins
Keep having ideas
Never stop throwing paint
