For You To Read

I never had time for the sad songs
About loved ones who were loved once
I never had time for the love songs
The dream girls who deceive us

But this is the only way I can say this
This is the only way

This is my only escape
This my lonely escape
This is my only escape
This my loneliest day

I don't want to sound like a poet
Don't take me too seriously
I only use these metaphors to keep you
From hearing my true feelings

But this is the only way I can say this
This is the only way

This is my only escape
This my lonely escape
This is my only escape
This my loneliest day

I just wrote the words I couldn't say
When I'm frustrated, full of self-hatred
I can't live up to my own standards
I set myself, I upset myself

(So carry on, struggle through, they don't know what you're going through, carry on like it's nothing new, you don't know how I miss you)
