On A Dime

Ask the ones who love me the most.
I spin ‘round on a dime.
Ask the ones who love me the most.
One, two, three time and time.

Happiness to hatred comes quick
without any warning.
Reaching into a hornet’s nest
brings all the bees swarming.

A wonderful day gone so wrong
laughter, smiles turn to tears.
I look into my loved ones’ eyes
and all I see are fears.

They wonder what will happen next.
Is more anger to come?
They wonder if they are to blame
and where did this come from?

Ask the ones who love me the most.
I spin ‘round on a dime.
Ask the ones who love me the most.
One, two, three time and time.

The ones I love the most do not
deserve my twists and turns.
Embers from the flames inside me
start to grow, start to burn.

People around me do not know
which way to run or hide.
They can feel there’s change in the air.
They just don’t know which side.

I spin so quickly it scares me.
My reactions so fast.
I’m in high gear before I know
and flashback to my past.

Ask the ones who love me the most.
I spin ‘round on a dime.
Ask the ones who love me the most.
One, two, three time and time.
