Lyrics
It’s a Mystery
© 2014 Kristina Stykos/BMI/ Horse Thief Publishing
I’m stuck in middle
Of what you say
And what you are doing
Silence walks these rooms
Whistling a mindless tune
Making me crazy
Eye to eye, fear to fear
When did you decide
To bury our love and hide
All that’s left are tears
I cry but no one hears
My broken voice won’t carry
Don’t let it be said
Your faith in me was blind
Don’t mix me up with any other person
Don’t tell it and slant it
The story’s still half mine
Now it’s time to put it to rest – it’s a mystery
All the words unsaid
Stuffed in my pillow
And underneath my bed
So many candles burned
Useless pride don’t learn
My heart’s angry at your head
Don’t let it be said
Your faith in me was blind
Don’t mix me up with any other person
Don’t tell it and slant it
The story’s still half mine
Now it’s time to put it to rest – it’s a mystery
