All The Truth That I Can Tell Paroles

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 identities
And all the truth that I can tell
And all the truth that I can tell

I pace the dressing room 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
