Truth Of My Youth

There was a time and place
Where I never thought
I'd leave my own home town
But those days are finally
Dead and gone
It was never my intention
To stay there oh no

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 doesnt know me anymore

These are the lies
The things you never mention
These are my past mistakes
I'll stay away from

These are my thoughts
Written down on paper
Its my only savior
For not saying
What I want to say

These are the thoughts
That are on my mind
Moments that havnt yet been defined
And I dont know if you
Could ever understand
These are the things I cant say
When we're alone

There were countless hours
On the telephone
My ears were ringing
From the dial tone

There was flashing lights
People staring
There was nothing I could ever do

These are the lies
The things that you never metion
These are my past mistakes
I'll stay away from

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

These are my thoughts
Written down on paper
Its my only savior
From not saying
What I want to say

These are the thoughts
That are on my mind
Moments that havnt yet been defined
And I dont know
If you could ever understand

These are the things I cant say
When we're alone
