Answered Prayers

Why is it that when prayers aren't answered
we curse god
or wonder why he hates us
but when they are answered, in a state of confusion

we lie paralyzed
unable to make heads or tails of any situation
trying mindlessly to solve the meaning of life
answered prayers complicate life

i prayed for someone like you
but wasn't prepared when you entered my life
your perfection sets me off balance
your kindness drives me to madness

do i want you or do i want a challenge
do i need to be with someone nice
or someone that heats my oven
but then again, you do so while stimulating my brain

its too early to make a decision
but somehow your mindset makes me think that you want to settle down
but am i the girl for you
our careers are mirrors, but could we be for eternity

answered prayers have thrown my life in a tailspiu
be careful what you wish for
maybe i'm just afraid to be happy
so i'm deciding to be too cautious

what if i mess this opportunity up
or will he turn out like every other perfect loser i've dated
a facade as thick as mud
oh, how many times god has reminded me, with a sharp slap in the face, that answered prayers aren't always a blessing
