The Old Me

I need to do something to change your mind. Because it's not possible to go back in time. So I need to show you what lies within. I need to let down this wall and shed this skin. I need to prepare myself for showing emotion. I need to compare my worth to your devotion. I need to devote myself with no diversion. Because anyone else but you would be a demotion. I need to show you your wait was not in vane. I need to throw in the towel and quit playing games. I need to bury myself deep inside and let the man you love come back alive. Because that's the guy I'm ready to be. And you deserve so much more than what you see in me. But I'm ready to show you that he's still here. And he's ready to - poof - reappear. So I'm ready to do and I'm ready to show, and I'm ready to give you everything that I owe. I need you to see that there is an old me. And I'm ready to do what you told me. On so many nights, after so many fights, because of so many lies, too many times. So the new me is gone, I bury that guy. And the old me is back, so come give me a try.
