Pay No Mind (Yasutaka Nakata 'CAPSULE' Remix)

She was dancing, she was smiling

Roses blooming in her cheeks

In a quiet kind of litany

She accepted some defeat

And then she twirled into the arms

Of disgrace, and then repelled

Now, she's fallen to her knees

But you couldn't ever tell

And then, she asked me how we got here

I told her, "I don't know!"

And if you keep on asking

I'll just keep saying so

This isn't what I wanted

It isn't what you need

But let them keep on talking

Just calm yourself and breathe

Don't you pay them any mind

Don't you pay them any mind

You know this happens every time

Now, don't you pay them any mind

Where the burdens of her mother

Weigh like sandbags on the eyes

As she closes, just to open

As the sirens whirling by

And now she's off to tell her secret

To a friend somewhere in town

And her friend just takes a moment

And asks why I'm not around

Darling, this is something

I should have told you long ago

I just want you to feel safe

I just want to make you glow

Oh, how you glowed when we were young

And with nothing on our minds

But each other, one another

And we had nothing then but time

And then, she asked me how we got here

I told her, "I don't know!"

And if you keep on asking

I'll just keep saying so

This isn't what I wanted

It isn't what you need

But let them keep on talking

Just calm yourself and breathe

Don't you pay them any mind

Don't you pay them any mind

You know this happens every time

Now, don't you pay them any mind

Some days you hear it (don't listen, honey)

Some days you don't (don't listen, oh no)

Sometimes you feel it (it's not worth it, honey)

Sometimes you won't

Just calm yourself, and breathe

Don't you pay them any mind

Don't you pay them any mind

You know this happens every time

Now, don't you pay them any mind

Don't you pay them any mind

Don't you pay them any mind

You know this happens every time

Now, don't you pay them any mind
