Tell Tale

“You got a lot of nerve.” you softly said but it was well deserved as I coasted in like a storm front wind and started poppin' off at the mouth again. You see I never thought you could rip me off like that. It took everything I had just to hold my fist back, but at times I'm known to overreact

I won't let this wick burn out. I felt the hardships closing in and I buckled down. And if you're looking for a little bit of honesty, I'm standing where I am because I fought to be. You hate the person that you became. You're always too scared, too scared. Just walk away

And you never thought your chain of petty theft would find you out until the heartbeats under your floorboard were beating too loud. You're all bark with an attitude, a loaded gun too scared to shoot. See, the difference between me and you is that I'll probably fail but I'm not afraid to. Now this is me looking in from the outside screaming...

In hindsight I didn’t overreact ‘cause what you really stole was a bond we won't get back

As I was going toe to toe against the world and all its wit, you were shaking from your clothing to the bones beneath your skin and those words you salivated caught behind your frozen lips were just scratching for an exit like they stood a chance

I won't let this wick burn out. I felt the hardships closing in and I buckled down. And if you're looking for a little bit of honesty, you're everything you're not 'cause you're afraid to be. You were born a coward; you'll die the same. You're always too scared, too scared, just walk away
