COMING CLEAN
Wednesday, August 9th, 2006You remarked "How come they like you?"
"They don’t even know how cruel you are!"
Well…here we go.
I’ve hurt people
trampled on their hearts because I liked having my own way
I’ve cheated love and made fools out of people who loved me
I’ve neglected the ones who really cared because at the time, I didn’t need them
I chose when and where I needed to be loved
And when I didn’t need it, I told it to go away
But now, months after the repentance and the forgiveness is done
I see it, love
hiding beneath an ice-cold armour of pain and self-preservation
I’ve shed my own armour
Took all my pride away so now all willl see me as I am
Could you take it off too?
I can’t take it off for you, as I was the one who put it there
But I can show you how it feels to be without it
and breathe life
and love
and freedom
