All The Truth That I Can Tell

I have some stories I

Would like to tell but I

Have sworn myself to secrecy

I have some deep regrets

Some things you don't forget

They haunt you for eternity

Things I could not control

I was too young to know

I needed to protect myself

Some people mean you harm

They'll see how hurt you are

And use you to enjoy themselves

But I don't fear that now

I found my own way out

And I will use those lessons well

Some specificities

Some changed idеntities

And all the truth that I can tell

And all thе truth that I can tell

I pace the dressing room

I feel myself consumed

By joy and fear for what's to come

My friends are playing now

Oh man, how good they sound

And my nerves burn until I'm numb

They play their biggest tune

Back here I sing it too

And when they're done

I strum some chords

I tune up my guitar

Grab something from the bar

Then pace around a little more

I sing a little bit

I save the rest of it

For what's to come when I walk out

I'm nervous I'll admit

That's just a part of it

And honestly, I like that now

I take the stage and I

Collapse in fractured rhyme

Surrounded by a crowd of friends

They sing along with me

We trade the melody

And I hope that will never end

And then I go backstage

And my friends pair away

In cabs and cars and bikes and trains

And I find solitude

And I call home to you

And you call me your secret name

And I say what a show

You shoulda seen em though

I wish I could take them with me

And you just kinda laugh

Say I already have

They're in you now

They'll always be

They're in you now

They'll always be

I have some stories I

Would like to tell but I

Have sworn myself to secrecy
