Take it back (2011-song)

(whisper)

It’s about time i come clean

It’s about time i confess

It’s about, about, about

(loud)

Here!

(normal)

I remember (being younger)

Feeling helpless, feeling alone

I knew better

Than to lie, live behind a disguise

(So it’s about time I come clean)

(chorus)

It’s about time I come clean

It’s about time I confess

I took a blade, I felt the pain

Wash away so innocently, like the words that beat me down.

But if I could, even if I could

I wouldn’t take it back

(end chorus)

It’s about about about (whisper)

Now! 

I remember (years ago)

Feelings useless, feeling desperate

I knew better

Than to lie, say I had nothing to hide

(chorus)

(So it’s about time I come clean)

It’s about time I come clean

It’s about time I confess

I abused the scale

But it was never low enough

To think I was free

But if I could

Even if I could

I wouldn’t take it back

(end chorus)

Cause here I am

I am strong

What I did will not define me

Only show me

I am strong

And I am free.

 

 

Author's Note

I'll never regret what I did to myself and what I"m still recovering from doing. It's made me stronger and I am proud to have survived the worst of it.
