Let's Play
Ain't butthurt
Ain't humiliated, I am
Okay, I was
But I just began
Let me in
Hear me out
Hear me first
And dare to shout
Past's been with me
Today's form, hasn't
I had my falls
By then, I hadn't
Learned from my sins
But I was right
Had no faith
And that was the plight
But now I get
That who I was
And who I am
And who's the cause
Who is what
That I tried being real
But you and your friends
Weren't so ideal
But found my purpose
Found the truth
I'll shrug off guilt
Would lack all ruth
Often, isolated
In the corner of a hall
Little did I know
Was prepping for a fall
Came to you
You shooed me away
Came back to you
You spoilt my day
Was asking qusetions
You didn't ask
And didn't answer
So I put the mask
Of you on me
Mentors warned
Discarded advice
Truth dawned
I had been good
Was driven insane
I had been better
Pushed to the mundane
You saw the chance
You took the leap
It was unfair
But blames I won't keep
'Cause had been careless
Had let it loose
You helped me wrong
You gave bad booze
Hungover, gone
Held myself up
Learned from strangers
Re-fueled the cup
Went back to the fork
Where things went wrong
I gathered courage
And wrote this song
Tracked back my way
My way to me
Realized it soon
It was meant to be
Keep on playing
Make fun, go on
Had to tell you
I am marching on
At my own path
With people I like
Might forgive you
If you break this dyke
You were beating me
When I was astray
I have just begun
C'mon, let's play
