[Verse 1] I wrote my mother yesterday Cause I had some things that I had to say And I know that when she reads them Shes gonna cry But in the end, I hope she sees That Im just trying to break free Because Ive been walking around With secrets now too long [Verse 2] Back when I was barely ten Mom brought home a new boyfriend And I know that times were bad And he made her feel good But one night he climbed into my bed And he left me wishing I was dead And Ive been walking around With secrets now too long [Chorus] You say Im digging up the past and its not wise to go back But for me, its just as close as yesterday And Im not the kind for breaking rules And Im not wanting to be cruel Ive just been walking around with secrets now too long You might also like[Verse 3] All my life, Ive felt ashamed Cause I thought I was the one to blame And I vowed to God That no one else would ever know How he crushed my childish pride And left me tears that never dried And Ive been walking around With secrets now too long [Chorus] You say Im digging up the past and its not wise to go back But for me its just as close as yesterday And Im not the kind for breaking rules And Im not wanting to be cruel Ive just been walking around with secrets now too long
