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 here 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,
There are my 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.
