Mar 2018
To all those times,
I was left to cry,
Standing behind the shadow,
For I was too shy,
Too many times I almost believed,
I could be somebody else,
Reach the stars,
Ring the holy bells,
I was brought down to reality,
Each year –another turmoil,
You say, "Act like a good girl."
Oh but I am only going to spoil,
My sins, my pieces,
You never will understand, you won't
In ten years I see myself alone,
All the memories yet linger to haunt,
I don't expect anyone to love me,
To stay,
The home I've been looking for,
See, within me, it'll survive
Alone, I'll be just fine,
Get away from this hopeless town,
I'll go very, very far away,
Far enough – just to never be found
I was left to cry,
Standing behind the shadow,
For I was too shy,
Too many times I almost believed,
I could be somebody else,
Reach the stars,
Ring the holy bells,
I was brought down to reality,
Each year –another turmoil,
You say, "Act like a good girl."
Oh but I am only going to spoil,
My sins, my pieces,
You never will understand, you won't
In ten years I see myself alone,
All the memories yet linger to haunt,
I don't expect anyone to love me,
To stay,
The home I've been looking for,
See, within me, it'll survive
Alone, I'll be just fine,
Get away from this hopeless town,
I'll go very, very far away,
Far enough – just to never be found
