I never thought my past could catch up to me, or these secrets so hard to keep
I always thought that if I'd ignored them, they wouldn't torture me
They say that "Ignorance is Bliss", a feeling that I'd hardly miss
Once I learn some self control, these secrets won't be told
I've been keeping these secrets, from a former love
The skeletons in my closet, they keep piling up
I ate the bones, and kept them down inside
How can I expect to grow, when I am everything I despise?
I made these promises with intentions to keep, but a promise doesn't mean a thing when you're lying through your teeth
The pain and guilt I feel inside, won't let me look you in the eyes
When all I want to do is turn away, but I can't move on
It's always darkest just before the dawn
I must not falter, I'll find the strength to carry on
You cannot keep hiding from your fears
We'll find a way to carry on
I never thought my past could catch up to me, or these secrets so hard to keep
I always thought that if I'd ignored them, they wouldn't torture me
They say that "Ignorance is Bliss", a feeling that I'd hardly miss
Once I learn some self control, those secrets won't be told
What makes a life so hard to lead?
Please give me a reason to believe
I'm tired of breathing just to keep healing from a broken heart
The constant fight I feel inside, will only postpone a compromise
Please give me a reason, something to believe in to help me go on
You've hid your demons for far too long
Show no regret for what you have done
Let the world see what you have become
Because your future is brighter than the sun
she never knew the truth, I betrayed her love
But things are different now, I finally found out how I need to grow up, and how to be a man
I've had some accidents, admit I've fucked up bad
But that's the past, I can only move forward
