Imogen Heap — Neglected Space

[Verse 1] Hello I watch you come and go I know you can hear my voice Don't walk away [Verse 2] Come daydream with me In closed loops and future-proof Cardboard to caviar Let’s show them how good we are [Refrain 1] If you look after me, I’ll look after you [Verse 3] Sonar, night vision Or desperate lovers seeking privacy for they're forbidden I am their defenceless host Through my open wounds they let themselves in Sheltered... sheltered... They mock me... they mock me... [Refrain 2] If you stand up for me, I’ll stand up for you [Verse 4] I’m weather-beaten in a losing battle Punctured by nature Becoming organic The air in here ages me ungracefully [Refrain 3] But if you take care of me, I’ll take care of you [Refrain 4] Oh, my crumbling heart! If you’ll be good to me, I’ll be good to you [Verse 5] I’m a nest I could be the best decision you ever made A beacon, your peaceful corner Find me, cherish me Take me on or pull me down You choose [Refrain 5] Wait! Oh, save me the ache of slow-decay! Cause I will remember you, will you remember me? [Verse 6] Bespoke to broken, this interwoven tapestry of tragedy Crooked frames and cracked glazing Slithers of wistful window gazes glint in borrowed light [Verse 7] Where doorways with no door stage a ballet of leaves Who pirouette in the footsteps of once glorious days... [Verse 8] But I'm peeling paint, I’m a sunken ceiling I’m cracking up, and can seem threatening [Verse 9] I’m falling apart I’m scary at night I'm taped up, forbidden Keep out... keep-out! No, no, no-go-zone [Build-Up] A has-been, a once was, the leftovers, an eyesore Broken beer bottles, I'm bleeding, rusty nails Oxidising, a few remaining tiles Unloved, no human touch, I'm walked past, I'm a waste of space I'm a nuisance, a hazard, abandoned, unwanted Unwanted! Lights off! I’m losing grip This is not what I stand for This is not what I stand for This is not what I stand for! [Interlude] It was a perfectly good grand piano [Breakdown] Stop in the name of love! I’ve got just what you’re looking for! I’ve got tree-lined interiors Where we can dine with the biosphere [Refrain 6] If you’ll take care of me, I’ll take care of you If you be good to me, then I’ll be good to you [Verse 10] I’m a story in mourning, and you’re the author So pour out your masterpiece [Outro] Entropy increasing, how long before I’m dust? Can we discuss?
