Truth Of My Youth

There was a time and place
Where I never thought
I'd leave my own hometown
But those days finally
Are 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 doesn't 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
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
These are the lies the things you never mention

These are my past mistakes I'll stay away from
This is the truth
The only time you'll hear it
I write it down because it seems so hard to say it
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 we're alone
