A song about a lost love who keeps screwing up her life after screwing up mine. My first "heavy" production! I play and sing everything except the drum machine and pattern bass.

It's about someone who thinks she is searching for herself but cannot see that she is defined by her relationships as much as by her expectations of life. The search is conducted using popular psychology books of the Venus & Mars ilk. Since she pays no care to her relationships, they founder and she is unhappy. This is not based on anyone in particular but I've known a few people like that.
I know how you shut me
out of your life
I know how you cut me
And left me to die
You went looking for pipedreams
Looking for lies
In a search for salvation
Or some imitation
You think you could live with
Like life’s second prize
You were all-out
Closed-down
Searching for you
It gives me no pleasure
It gives me no pleasure
It gives me no pleasure
To see you so blue
Some need a mirror
To know who they are
Some need the flatterers
Hitched to their star
You just never wanted
To be found out for just what you are
Though you don’t know yourself
But you can’t find the answers
With just a fixed smile and a library card
And now as I see you
Wrapped up in blue
Life and love equally
A mystery to you
You think that the answers
That will get you through
Lie inside, but you don’t realise
That the key to your life’s
In letting someone in there with you
