Not who you used to be (you're scaring me)

(Sheila Blackburn)

Sometimes you loose a loved one even though they are right by your side. Depression, addiction, dementia many things steal away a person and leave a shell you hardly recognise. These lyrics explore the helpless fear of those standing by.

You’re not who you used to be Black shadow growing over you Dark tendrils growing through your mind Empty void that fills your eyes I can’t follow where you lead, I can’t bring you back again, don’t think we’ll ever be the same. You’re scaring me. Like nightmares in the night Like snuffing out the candle light You’re scaring me, you’re scaring me You’re at the bottom of a pit Can’t see a hand before your face A flickering image in a swirling mist Insubstantial, hardly there I can’t follow where you lead, I can’t bring you back again, don’t think we’ll ever be the same. You’re scaring me. Like nightmares in the night Like snuffing out the candle light You’re scaring me, you’re scaring me You’re breath is shallow like a grave Cant get the thing you need from me Cant see your way back to the road And demons wait inside your head I can’t follow where you lead, I can’t bring you back again, don’t think we’ll ever be the same. You’re scaring me. Like nightmares in the night Like snuffing out the candle light You’re scaring me, you’re scaring me I can’t follow where you lead, I can’t bring you back again, I know you’ll never be the same. You’re scaring me. Like nightmares in the night Like snuffing out the candle light You’re scaring me, you’re scaring me Like nightmares in the night Like snuffing out the candle light You’re scaring me, you’re scaring me You have slipped into the night, now its black and I can’t fight. You’re scaring me, you’re scaring me, you’re scaring me.
