How do I begin?
With just this paper and this pen?
Throw some words on a page
That'll never be enough
I'd been playing charades
I'd been acting out for six months now
But I never said a thing
Holding pride to my chest
I should've been surrendering
I'd grown so used to living in old chapels
Spending time down on calloused knees
And I guess I never saw you coming
You knocked me out
Like a rookie in the ring
I'm through leaving lipstick stains
On every coffee cup I meet
No longer longing for a stranger
To ask about my story
Now I put my tears to bed
And I rest my tired eyes
I always hoped the rain would end
And that the sun would rise
But I'd grown so used to living in old chapels
Spending time down on calloused knees
And I guess I never saw you coming
You knocked me out
You took me down
To the ground
Like a rookie in the ring
