There was a time and

I'd leave my own hometown
but those days finally
are dead and gone
It was never my intention
to stay there Oh no

Verse 2
There was a conscious
effort played by me
to disown anything I
see There was a girl
I knew way back when
who says she doesn't
know me anymore

These are the lies
the things you never mention
These are my past mistakes
I'll stay away from
Chorus
These are my thoughts
written down on paper
It's my only savior
from not saying
what I want to say
These are the thoughts
that are on my mind
Moments that haven't
yet been defined
And I don't know if you
could ever understand
These are the things I
can't say when were alone

There were countless
hours on the telephone
My ears were ringing
from the dial tone
There were flashing
lights people staring
There was nothing
I could ever do

This is the truth
The only time you'll hear it
I write it down because it
seems so hard to say it
