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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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
