Loose Ends - Rosie Thomas

She’s like a sweater, old and used

Tossed and overworn too many times through

And she used to look so bright

All her seams were tightly tied

She’s like a sweater that’s just worn out

Fading, coffee stained, and out of style

And she’s just about to run

Before her stitches come undone

She’s gonna pack her bags & leave

No more loose, unravelled seams

She is young & she still has her confidence

And it’s not too late to tie up those loose ends

She’s like a fire in the rain

His words will damp her eyes & heat her veins

And the love she thought she found was just another

Hand-me-down of dwindled grace

She’s gonna pack her bags & leave

No more loose, unravelled seams

She is young & she still has her confidence

And it’s not too late to tie up those loose ends

She’s found a refuge for her face

While dividing her unfortunate displace

Now she stands too high for them to ring her dry

She’s found her way

She’s gonna pack her bags & leave

No more loose, unravelled seams

She is young & she still has her confidence

And it’s not too late to tie up those loose ends
