Dear Mom and Dad
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
tonight I fall asleep under starless skies
praying my life wont pass me by
yet I'd love to be stuck in this moment forever
this time I wanna be the one who said "I told you so"
reality scares me to death
I'm afraid to close my eyes
running out of places to hide, oh I tried
waiting for the sun to sink into the ocean
please don't make me say this again
this time I wanna be the one who said "I told you so"
it doesnt have to end this way
running from the only home I've ever known
please don't make me say this again, even though I should
you ran just like I knew you would
and if this makes you happy I'll go, without another word
I'll spare you the hurt...
CHORUS
reality scares me to death (YOU MADE ME LEAVE)
I'm afraid to close my eyes (WHY DONT YOU LOVE ME?)
running out of places to hide, oh I tried (I TRIED)
