Departure
I am being everything
Everything I never wanted to be
None of this, I mean
I wish I could make you see
See my inner being

I know I am putting
Putting you through hell
Soon I'll be cutting
Cutting you from this shell
And I'll retrace my footing

I'll go back in time
To when I was free
No fault, yours or mine
I just need to open my eyes and see
See him who is in the heart that is mine

You have nothing wrong
I pray that this you will see
I hope one day it will dong
It will dong on me
What I have done wrong

This is all personal
So don't take it to heart
I'm sorry for it all
Man this is so hard
I hope your life is a ball
