It’s strange there’s so much I want to tell you
To bear my soul for just a little
My world’s a closed one
Your smile manages to crack the door long since shut
As the light floods into the dark room
Something I lost a long time ago appears
There’s no promise you will be here tomorrow
No promise I can make all the hurt go away but all I can do is try
I’m not perfect far from it
I have my vices like everyone else
I’ve been known to drink too much
Been known to smoke til my eyes droop low
I can’t make excuses for the things I’ve done and will never start
I’m more messed up then I lead on
This isn’t a cry for help
This is honesty
This is me
No masks
Not hiding anything
I don’t say much
That doesn’t mean I don’t have anything to say
There’s a disconnection between the world and myself
It’s trying to speed everything up
I’m struggling to slow down
I’ve never been one for speed
I’d rather show you what it means then to rush through it
There’s beauty in each moment
Why would we miss even a second of it
I’ll always be unlucky with the girls of my life because of this
I don’t look one time things
It’s not to say i’m always on the hunt for a relationship
But to connect with someone is so intriguing that having anything else
Is just lying to yourself
A numbing of the pain
You know more about me
In these past handful of lines
Then some know in years of knowing me
I may not be setting the world on fire
But here’s to the future
It goes down smooth
