Spoken words and secret glances
Thought I was hiding, guess it was obvious
Every eye saw me looking at you admiring
Even with the bullet questions I kept dodging
My tongue slipped and my truth I told
God it hurts, the pain that I hold
Out of all my life stories this one came to light
And if I had a shred of control it wouldn't be to sight
Who says what I've said
Who gushes over a friend
I want to take it all back and erase it from everyone's minds
I still can't believe that I've crossed those lines
Ruined ... again, was that really a surprise ?
Dead ... again, I was honest instead of telling lies
On my tomb "For love, I gave everything even if it aches,
For love faced me with heartbreaks"
When I am dead celebrate my life freely
But rarely does anyone know anything about me
Ask my friends, my family ask anybody
Does anyone remember my voice, my thoughts, or even my birthday
Ask whoever you want
Do they even know my name ?
