What's on My Mind
Unveiling the Enigma: Gary Allan's Provocative Musings
Lyrics
I can't have this conversation
I find it difficult to engage in this conversation
Without lots of reservations on the line
I approach this discussion with caution and reservations
If there's a way to slip around it
If there's a way to avoid the topic, I'm likely to find it
Then I'm bound to get around it one more time
I tend to navigate around difficult subjects repeatedly
Honey you are so persuasive
You have a persuasive manner, but it makes me avoid opening up
But it makes me more evasive when you pry
Your probing questions make me more evasive
You can label me elusive
You may see me as elusive, but the facts are unclear for now
But the facts are inconclusive at this time
There's insufficient evidence to draw conclusions at this time
'Cause you can't handle what's on my mind
You cannot handle the thoughts and emotions I carry
I've got roses growing over what you'd find
I have emotional scars that I've covered up with pleasant things
But keep on asking if you're inclined
Despite the pain, you persist in asking about my thoughts
'Cause you can't handle what's on my mind
You still cannot handle what's on my mind
I don't mean to drive you crazy
I don't intend to make you feel crazy or confused
Comin' off all vague and hazy just because
I might seem vague and unclear because I lack an answer
I don't have an answer for you
I don't want to bore you with details if I did have an answer
I just wouldn't want to bore you if it does
I choose not to provide an answer to avoid tediousness
'Cause you can't handle what's on my mind
You are not capable of handling the depth of my thoughts
I've got roses growing over what you'd find
My emotional scars are concealed by superficial beauty
But keep on asking if you're inclined
Despite your persistence, you still can't grasp my inner struggles
'Cause you can't handle what's on my mind
You remain unable to handle the complexity of my thoughts
But keep on asking if you're inclined
Even if you continue to inquire, my thoughts remain undisclosed
'Cause you can't handle what's on my mind
Your inability to comprehend what's on my mind persists
Because you can't handle what's on my mind
Reiterating that you are incapable of handling my inner thoughts
