Mind Contorted
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been through some hard
But I'm feeling so much better
And I'm standing in your yard
I could be there forever
And I know if you saw me now
You would be much perplexed
And I know if you saw me now
Your mind would be contorted
But I love you
Every time I think of you
The sun shines brightly on my soul
But there's something missing
Part of you part of the whole
I cried a million tears
Fill an ocean with my sorrow
And if I had my way
I'd be up to see you tomorrow
And I know if you saw me now
You would be quite perplexed
And I know if you saw me now
Your mind
would be contorted
But I love you
Every time I think of you
I feel like writing a song
And if I could win your heart
I never that it'd take so awful long
And I wish upon a star
Hope that we could get together
I'll be standing in your yard
We could be there forever
ANd I know if you saw me now
You would be much perplexed
ANd I know if you saw me now
Your mind would be contorted
And I know if you saw me now
You would be quite perplexed
And I know if you saw me now
Your mind would be contorted
But I love you
