Been trying hard not to get into trouble

But I can't help it, you see

Not many people understand it, the way I have to

Live fast, scream into the night sky all my 

Fear, rage, sadness, restlessness

Everything

I stay out late, smile at strangers with

My guilty red lips, eyes flashing lies and promises

Proclaiming my undying love and loyalty to

The first pair of strong arms to give me a home

But we both know I'll  be gone by morning

I have an open road I have to get to, after all.

I have secrets, like anyone does.

I live for the exhilaration of speeding down a deserted highway at 100 miles an hour, screaming

Screaming into the cool air of a dusty summer night.

I had a true love, once. 

Secrets tore us apart.

I know I loved him then, and I love him still

But he's gone, and I am forever

Kissing away truth and love, because once you know you're about to lose everything...

The past becomes just another red-lipped lie.
