My Secret Sin
My situation is no better but nor is it worse
Rehearsing grace at the dinner table
I ain’t hungry, my stomach just hurts
Another day has passed
Now I’m just one day away
From seeing yesterdays cast
And on these black pages lies, my secret sin
I’ve learned that you can let go of your pain
Just by helping another get through theirs
Who would’ve thought, you find someone who cared
My misery and stress
I print it in between those college rules
Even when my patience is guessed
I choose to remain peaceful and cool
Slowly run your fingers along these black pages
Feel for your selves my secret sin
We don’t have those same love songs
That once could take you away
Tear you apart, when you have nothing to say
And put you back together on that same shattered dream
On which we lay
Shed tears when I think back on the past eight teen years
And I apologize for not being sincere
Especially at times when you would tell me
Your only love was for me still being here
Heart to heart, closer than apart
One those black pages lies my secret sin
I’m going to find my way to my grave regardless
So many say I’m stubborn and heartless
Everyday I searched for a home
My loved ones were gone
Pardon me please
For my soul is partly at ease
