I've finally got something to say But I buried it somewhere inside Now it's waiting at the surface And I don't have anywhere left to hide I kept it locked behind my teeth Hoping time would make it disappear But every step I took away Only brought it closer here Funny how the rules all change When no one's willing to take the blame It's easier to look away Than admit we're all the same Everybody finds somebody When everything starts coming apart I've spent so long standing outside I forgot what that feels like Hold your breath... I'm done pretending. So I wrote it down Everything I couldn't say The parts worth keeping disappeared But the worst ones stayed Read every line out loud You'll know exactly where I've been This was never about the past It's about where I begin again I know exactly what you're thinking You never saw yourself in me Maybe I was never honest Maybe I was scared you'd leave I wore a face that fit the moment Told myself it'd keep the peace Shook hands with every false direction Just to find a little sleep YOU ONLY KNEW! THE VERSION I COULD CARRY! NOT THE ONE THAT CARRIED ME! Read every line out loud You'll know exactly where I've been This was never about the past It's about where I begin again Read every line out loud You'll know exactly where I've been This was never about the past It's about where I begin again
