There is a change I have to make. A change for the better; A change towards happiness. I'm lying to you, Yes you: everyone. I've cheated myself And the ones I love. Why do I do this? Why do I make myself suffer? I'm numb; numb To my self hate. No wonder, I don't want to Remember The horrible things I've done. Its not like I've killed Or have done anything Against the law. But what I've done Would disappoint So many people; The people I love most. So, I have to change. I cannot change my past, But I can change myself Now. What do I have to do To make my change? What do I have to do? I need to tell someone Of all my sins. I need to let you know Through another soul. I need to know I won't be judged. I need to know I'll be listened to. I need to know That everything will be alright. I don't just need to, But I want To change. I want to change For you, For myself. At least I know where to start. Ill start by changing Myself. Secrets, secrets Are no fun Unless you've shared them With everyone. I'll do just that. Through you, My friend. Because I have a feeling, You're the one That will listen With open arms. Well in reality, I've chosen you To be my listener, My consoler. Because I don't want Anyone else to know. Goodbye, My secrets. Goodbye, My old self. Goodbye.
