mind twists like a hanger that’s rusted and bent

dangling off of the clothes rack all metal and dents

if you asked me I’d tell you I don’t have a clue

‘cause I keep getting five when I add two and two

 

I’m just a girl who can feel all alone

I’m singing and crying late at night when I’m home

but you come along, with your words so damn sweet

I’m with him, I know, so then why did we meet?

 

something pulled us together like opposite poles

something, someone out there already knows

our future, my questions, the barrier of him

if you wanted my heart in a heartbeat you’d win

 

wishing wells spiral into fathoms of faith

I succumb and step back, giving in every day

but I won’t ‘cause I can’t, you know how I feel

he may not treat me right but I’m head over heels

 

with him - and with you - like a tangle of thread

it’s funny the way things can get so complex

morphing faster than light, multiplying like tens

just in seconds, an instant, a breathless moment...

 

my mind is a knot of uneven odds

I’m surrounded by beauty, by marshes and bogs

confined to the cube and the stone walls of fear

if I close my eyes and cover my ears

when I count to three and come back to life

who might have stayed, what might I find?

 

mind like a hanger in rough callused hands

someone who’s stopped caring and I understand

if feelings were easy I could choose no or yes

but if feelings were easy we would be colorless.
