She's A Mess

She takes a walk on the outside
Outside of her own skin
No doubt without this type of protection
You just might get in
She keeps her thoughts on the dark side
That way no good gets in
No doubt without this type of protection
She'd be an optimist

Why is it, you insist
Heading for those brick walls
Eyes a mist, clenching fist
Stubbornness insures the fall
I swear I'd lend a hand
But you'd rather not
I swear I'd get you back
Back from the outside

She keeps her heart on the safe side
Locked tight for convenience
No doubt without this type of protection
You just might get to it
She keeps her mind thinking about yesterday
She keeps her thoughts entangled in some old chains
And I get the feeling all she wants is to be freed

Why is it, you insist
Heading for those brick walls
Eyes a mist, clenching fist
Stubbornness insures the fall
I swear I'd lend a hand
But you'd rather not
I swear I'd get you back
Back from the outside

Silly girl, you're heading for some rough times
Silly girl, the sooner that you realize
We'll come together, and I'll set your mind at ease
