Tangled Up In You
Judy Blank Lyrics

It's hard to miss the faded stains upon your cheek
Your emotional distress is evident even though you try to hide it

I try to read between the lies your telling me
You constantly deceive me, and it's difficult to know what's true

At least you keep away the monsters in my sleep
I find solace in your presence, even though you're not good for me

And I know you're the reason for the trouble in my head
You cause me emotional turmoil and confusion

But I might've found some meaning in the things that make me sad
You've given me a new perspective on my sadness and pain

And I don't wanna lose that
I don't want to give up the feelings and insights you've given me

Now I'm out of stories, and out of storylines
I've exhausted all my creative energy and ideas

And guess who's the one who ran that river dry
You've drained me of all inspiration and motivation

I try so hard to believe that every promise is true
I want to trust you and your intentions, but it's a struggle

But every word you say seems to be meant to make me blue
Your words always have a negative impact on my mood and emotions

And I don't know why I'm tangled up in you
I can't explain why I'm drawn to you, even though you cause me pain

Second glass of red wine, water in my eye
I'm drinking and crying because of the emotional toll you've taken on me

You always start to paint right where I draw the line
You push me to my limits and then cross over them without hesitation

Before you make me believe I'm colorblind
You distort my perception of reality and make me question my own judgment

You tell me I don't wanna have you near me
You accuse me of not wanting you around, even though it's not true

And when I say i do you won't believe me
You don't trust my word or my intentions

I simply refuse to realize
I can't bring myself to acknowledge the truth of our relationship

That you are not my guiding light
I've relied on you for guidance and support, but it's time to let go

So I'll just lift another glass
I'll keep drinking and coping with my emotions through alcohol

To the songs that I could write
I'll channel my pain and sadness into my music

I don't know why you hold me back in everything I do
You hinder my progress and prevent me from achieving my goals

Dry
I'm completely depleted and empty because of you

Ran that
You drained me completely without apology or remorse

Ran that river dry
You've exhausted me on every level, leaving me with nothing

And I don't know why I'm tangled up in you
Despite all this pain and damage, I'm still caught up in my feelings for you

No I don't know why I'm tangled up in you
I have no explanation for why I can't let go and move on from you
