Analysis of Knotted up love



Your problems are mine
My problems are yours
Where are the solutions
You blanket me
I pick you up
Each seeking the others needs
All this help
Who is better
A tangled fire hose
Putting out fires a little at a time
Patchwork and quick fix
How do we help each other
Where do we
Separate helping each other
To helping ourselves
We want the other's happiness
It's knotted so tight as to
Not see who's purpose it serves
Let me unravel me
You unravel you
And
The US not come undone
