Twisting My Words Lyrics - Singles - Lori Carson

Well, aren't we all grown up 

We were only children but who knew it then? 

Lovers before we knew anything more 

For each lesson in tenderness learned on the floor 

There was one about twisting my words to console you 

One about hiding the black and blue 

And one about leaving the back door open 

For the endlessly running away that I do 

The rain took me by surprise 

Though I'd heard a wild storm was coming that night 

I've learned to ignore these predictions alright 

Well partly it's stubbornness some of it's spite 

But mostly it's twisting my words to console you 

Mostly it's hiding the black and blue 

And always it's leaving the back door open 

For the endlessly running away that I do 

Now you think you're here to stay it's like that joke 

How can you miss me if you won't go away 

Well darling I may still surprise you one day 

For each sincere good morning I've managed to say 

There's been one about twisting my words to console you 

One about hiding the black and blue 

And one about leaving the back door open 

For the endlessly running away that I do from you 

For the endlessly running away that I do
