lyrics

Something you need to know
It's time for me to come clean about this
The truth is gonna hurt
It's not my fault
We've come to this

Where have you been so far?
The veil's been lifted in the end
It made it clear
For me to accept
And comprehend

Years spent blaming myself
Doing my best to grow up to be a man
On my own
Like a parasite in my blood it spread
I grew up like weeds on the lawn
Gotta take this off my chest
Right off my chest
The kid I used to be
The man I'll never be
Off my chest
Right off my chest
The kid I used to be
The man I'll never be is in front of me

Hello, is anyone there?
These words come from love and not hate
But I just can't pretend that nothing ever happened
I chased after something I knew I was lacking
It's me, it's me, oh it's always me
Thank god I found ways to cope with it
While everyone around me kept saying "it's ok"
But all I could see were the mind games you played

And you didn't know the damage you caused
I gathered my courage and spat it all out

And my insecurity now has a name
I'll say it out loud, I'll take it off my chest
Right off my chest
The kid I used to be
The man I'll never be
Off my chest
Right off my chest
The kid I used to be
The man I'll never be is in front of me
