When I was young
I remember planning to run away from home
Now I wish I could recollect that note
Which I wrote saying goodbye to mom
Such a stupid son I was back then
I found her crying the next morning
Hurt from what she had read
Thrown away in the kitchen bin
Wish I could go back and slap myself across the face
This friend of mine I had a crush on her for three whole years
And we dated for some time
But after a while we broke up and my heart was crushed
I had to speak up
So I called a close friend, her ex
He yelled and threw words in my face
Hung the phone, for the phone to ring later again
There she was, she was pissed
Angry at me, felt just like I had killed a friend
Recently I’ve been scared to talk to dad
And tell him who I am
I resort to friends
Feels like I have betrayed my kin
On a deeper level than I should be ok with
And still that fear reigns supreme
Fear acknowledgment through hate
But someday it’s inevitable
Guess I should “man up” and tell him what this song’s about
What is it like to lose a battle?
Or better yet to make amends?
It’s enough
I have had all of these lamentations
I have crossed a million different stations but now I think I’m loose
Now I think I’m loose
Now I think I’m loose
I hope to god I’m loose
