I know you lie, I don't think I mind Tell me I light up the night and your life I know it ain't true, you know that I do I just like the shape of your lips as they move I just like the sound of something profound Something not ordinary I'm in no hurry about it so Say it real slow, tell me I'm whole Tell me that my shit will never get old And tell me you want me and I'll lie to you too I won't ever cheat, I'll speak so softly And do all the things that a good woman's supposed to Oh see I'm a natural, watch how the lies just fall out of my mouth and into your mind we do it all the time We do it all the time I know you lie, I don't think I mind Tell me I light up the night and your life

I stopped writing love songs 'cause I'm five foot two And I had to prove I'm not weak So I just hold onto the sick shit you do and I sing til I'm blue And I seek out some revolution Stamp out this institution And by now you should know pretty well That I can look pretty and still give you hell and I will I stopped writing love songs 'cause I'm five foot two And got tired of being called cute Boys playing love songs never bothered you But a girl's gotta do Something huge to get your attention A fine line you're too polite to mention And by now you should know pretty well That I can look pretty and still give you hell and I will
3.
Do you remember when I brought it up; you called me crazy I tried to brush it off but intuition overcame me And now I think about the times you told me not to worry Well you can't play that shit when you get caught up with this bitch And I know it's none of my business anymore But oh, just tell me you're not fucking her Do you remember when you begged me not to leave the bar? You promised it was in my head and you were over her But every time you'd speak her name I got this kind of flush I'll find out all your lies, there are things you cannot hide And I know it's none of my business anymore But oh, just tell me you're not fucking her I know I know I know I know you think that I don't know I know I know I know I know you think that I don't know But I know, oh I know I know I know I know I know you think that I don't know I know I know I know I know you think that I don't know But I know, I know And I know it's none of my business anymore But oh, just tell me you're not fucking her

You say you'd change your life for her She just needs to give the order Well I've never loved anybody that way If she asked you to you say you would move Two thousand miles away Well I've never loved anybody that way You ask me what I'd do, I say you're a fool You know that I would stay But I, I've never loved anybody that way Maybe I'm stubborn and maybe I'm selfish Maybe I'm a cynic but I can't help it I will not give my life to another I will not yield to something so changeable I've been that girl sometimes; I've been driving men wild Since I learned to hold their gaze But I've never loved anybody that way No I've never loved anybody that way Thought if he'd let me maybe I could fall in deeply Turns out I'm never gonna change 'cause I I never loved anybody that way No I've never loved anybody that way

He did me wrong, it hit me hard Oh I forgave but it still hurt So I've been filling this hole in my heart with leather and whisky And no I don't love you boy, but I love that you miss me And I love the way that I can make you beg me to stay oh say it Go on, say it Worship me, worship me Get on your knees and worship me I know it's cruel for me to toy with you But when she's bruised what else is a girl to do? I've been filling this hole in my heart with leather and whisky And no I don't love you boy, but I love that you miss me And I love the way that I can make you beg me to stay oh say it Go on, say it Worship me, worship me Get on your knees and worship me

Everybody wants to make it to the big time But I'm making myself sick just for a cheap rhyme And i've been talking to my friends who write like summer never ends And they're all crumbling underneath their veils of sunshine Nobody wants to fade away But nobody really wins this game If nobody's happy anyway What's the point in trying just for trying's sake? Everybody wants to feel they're going somewhere But watching my esteem falling to get there And I've been talking to my friends who say the judgement never ends But there's no value in complaining that it's not fair I never needed lights and fame Just a few folk who love my name I'm trying to love the present day And make art for arts sake on my way Everybody wants to get out on the main stage But I cry each time I think about the long wait And I've been talking to my friends who say it's a means to an end But this black dog will hunt me down before the end ever comes Nobody wants to fade away But nobody ever wins this game If nobody's happy anyway And what's the point in trying just for trying's sake? Oh I never needed lights and fame Just a few folk who love my name I'm trying to love the present day And make art for arts sake on my way Everybody wants to make it to the big time But I'm making myself sick just for a cheap rhyme

about

Simeon Hammond Dallas London, UK

“wickedly-badass pint-sized powerhouse”

Simeon Hammond Dallas is a singer-songwriter from London’s Camden Town. An overactive mind and a desire to live a life like a travel montage from a rom-com provide the inspiration for her music; a folky bluesy country-soul amalgamation. An enemy of dichotomy, her music is soft and vulnerable while packing a punch at the same time. ... more
