lyrics

She said, "I must confess, you really ought to think less."
I humbly agreed and to my knees,
You've got some sort of power over me.
I said, "Before you see the rest, you should know it's a mess."
She said, "You're cute. And yes, I've got some power over you."

And I knew from the moment that I met you,
Some day I'd be trying to forget you.
And all the things that you're hiding and you won't show,
It was more than I ever wanted to know.

I looked in the mirror and said, "I can see it from here,
I'm gonna have an inkling to stay.
And I don't really think that that's okay."

Can someone turn to tell me I'm not where I should be?
So I can smile and say, "Perhaps I'm happy this way."

I would love to see inside your mind,
Please help me believe in another time or place where we'd be happy,
Then I would see.
