Jake Edwards - a song about coming out

Front door, porch light Alone again blissfully Pacing, bedroom Nothing but worn out dreams You told yourself it would be tonight You told yourself you wouldn’t back down This time Look up, skyline Wishing you weren’t as blue Falling, freedom Trying to say something new But all you can come up with Is words that you’ve already said I’m desperate, I’m lonely I’m dying when I go to bed Waiting, breathless Washing my hands again Standing, taller Trying to breathe through the pain All the words I wrote down Are clawing their way off the page I’m shouting, I’m screaming I’m trying to break out of this cage Nothing’s gunna be the same Nothing’s gunna be the same Whisper, quiet I won’t be here next Spring Softer, footsteps Pretending I don’t feel a thing And the courage I thought I had Was nothing but an empty heart I found a new family that Doesn’t wanna tear me apart Nothing’s gunna be the same Nothing’s gunna be the same
