My Answer - The Black Sheep

Why did I let you in?

Why don’t I shut you out?

I can’t believe the words

That tumble from your mouth

You’re always up and down

These elevator moods

Are killing something that

I thought was true

Sometimes you turn so cold

My tears are falling snow

I try to understand

You’re a complete unknown

The questions that you ask

They rattle round my head

But do you love me as much

As you love you?

This is my answer

I’ll burn you up and you can watch me soar

This is my answer

You can bet I’ll pay you back for sure

Why should I feel like this?

Why don’t I shake it loose?

You can’t appreciate

What’s right in front of you

You’re always up and down

These elevator moods

Are killing something that

I thought was true

I try to talk to you

But you’re an empty space

Let you hear my song

But you just hit erase

The questions that you ask

They rattle round my head

But do you love me as much

As you love you?

This is my answer…
