Alyssa Jacey Down
It was cold outside and I was lost in my mind.
Always searching for something I could never find,
but you had the answer the whole time.
I grew up in the arms of love. Never a moment when I didn’t feel enough.
Still I would search for reasons to, fight back, when I was never put under attack, and I...
I know it’s not about, winning the fight.
It’s about taking a step back to see the other side.
So what was my investment with always having to be right?
When I let you down. I let you, down.
Pressure started to, sink in.
And what never used to matter became all that mattered then.
So I lied. I lied to ease the pain and don’t know why, I chose to keep living my life, pushing truth aside, and I...
I know that it’s not about, fearing the knife.
Or the words that come armed on it’s back, and stab ‘til you go blind.
Those rosy colored glasses won’t protect you from your mind,
They’ll let you down. Let you down.
Maybe it’s time to grow up. And take getting burned as a lesson learned from staring at the sun.
So here’s to change! Here’s to change and changing my ways.
If I'm gonna leave mark on this earth I gotta let go of yesterday!
And I, I know it’s not about, being right. It’s about keeping my class and swallowing my pride. Acknowledge good intent, now I know good was all you meant...
Yeah I, I know it’s not about, not about being right. It’s about keeping my class and swallowing my pride. Acknowledge good intent, now I know good was all you meant...
When I let you down. I let you, down.
Down, down, no....oh, whooooo ooooo.
