Name

Maybe I'm just naive.

Maybe I love too hard too fast too readily.

Maybe I'm too easy used and manipulated.

Or maybe I'm too willing to manipulate just to fuck with people. (That's not a maybe. It's a fact.)

And maybe from now on I'll turn a blind eye, and I'll choose to forget.

Maybe I'll forget who I was

Maybe I'll grow up some more (even though I'm too grown up for a 19-year-old. I should be out making mistakes and doing stupid shit, and whining about problems that don't exist.) I'll start being a real adult and I'll stop expecting anything from anyone because that is the worst idea I've ever had.

Maybe I'll move forward in my life, and become something I wish I wasn't, something I wish I didn't have to be. I will become the shape life has destined for me and I will stop resisting (Giving Up And Growing Old And Hoping There's A God).

That's life I guess~ Moral of The Story Kids: Growing up is a whole bunch of bullshit.


And even though the moment passed me by,
I still can't turn away.
Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way,
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away.

And now we're grown up orphans
That never knew their names.
We don't belong to no one.
That's a shame,
But if you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name

And I won't tell em your name

Scars are souvenirs you never lose.
The past is never far.
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are?

You grew up way too fast,
And now there's nothing to believe,
And reruns all become our history.
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio,
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell em your name

I think about you all the time,
But I don't need the same.
It's lonely where you are come back down
And I won't tell em your name.
