From Here On Out

grow me wings, I want to...

Shoot me down, I dare you

I killed myself so long ago

But you didn't know, no you don't know

A man without pride, but I feel alive

I am so burried and gone, and I feel alone

Why can't I sing these word to you (Carry me away)

When will you decide that you want to stay?



Hide in my dark room...for a while

Tell me your secrets...we're in denial

Lies have been passed...now we're wasting breath

Just tell me what you want from me?

I am so losing control...you laugh at my face

Feeling hurt and shot down...you're the queen with the crown

My heart is on fire...so unlike my mouth

But I'm letting it out...yea I'm telling the truth now



When I said I loved you it was a lie

A stupid lie, what a surprise

When I said I needed you...I hate to admit that was a lie too

I've killed myself for what I've done

Now the healing process has rebegun

I'm no saint unlike you...I move to hurt just like you do



This is the shut down

Time to put my new face on

Pretend this isn't me

I wasn't born to bleed

You were all I needed

And you needed me too

Such a perfect mistake

All the bullshit lines we faked

Just to make it another day

Now I'm on my way

I'm telling the truth here on out



I am letting go, I'm so full of doubt

But I'm telling the truth from here on out

I'm losing control and I want to shout

But I'm telling the truth here on and on and on and on...

Yea, here on out

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I've got another confession to make...I'm so in love with you...but I lied. I won't tell you who this one is about...just know that some...if not all of it is metaphorical for things I've been thinking and people I've been missing...and things I regret about my past
