Nov 10
I told her before I knew for sure.
I told him before I knew for sure.
I told her before I knew for sure.
I still don't know for sure.

I might not ever know,
but whichever way I go,
I know they will be right by my side,
even after all the times I lied.

Pick out a dress.
You'll look your best.
If only they knew,
the pictures my mind drew.

After the many makeup looks,
the smile like the cover on books.
If only they knew,
and I could show myself true.

But now, they know.
When I told them, my smile did glow.
Now, I can be myself,
I don't have to hide like dust on a shelf.

I told her before I knew for sure.
I told him before I knew for sure.
I told her before I knew for sure.
I still don't know for sure.

I might not ever know,
but whichever way I go,
I know they will be right by my side,
even after all the times I lied.
