Overtold Story

When did it turn into a dark tragedy?
Again, a mess of hosts and clowns 
Oh yes they sure fooled me

When did I give all my secrets away
Shouldn't I have left some 
For me to stay?

But oh......I will break away
No guarantee I will stay 
Hidden for a day

This over told story 
They've taken all the glory
What must and should been hidden
I hope I will be forgiven

There are stories that were
Meant to lay around and fill with dust
I am old again, past and driven by lust

My kids have grown older now
What can I leave behind, nothing left hidden 
My dignity has been compromised

But oh......I will break away
No guarantee I will stay 
Hidden for a day

This over told story 
They've taken all the glory
What must and should been hidden
I hope I will be forgiven
