The Pact

I'm gonna let you in on a secret, I'm so afraid
 Of letting my skeletons out, so I bottle them in
 But I know it's gonna get out in the worst way, so I gave in
 Now I'm gonna be an open book for you to read
 The longer I stay numb, the longer I don't have to think much
 I never have to think about my father and how he walked out on us
 How I barely know my mother, for that I'm ashamed
 Afraid of what they think of me, so I stay away
 Let's make a pact right here, right now
 You keep your hopes up that I can change
 Well I stay honest, you do the same
 I'll keep my purpose, you keep your faith
 That we can get through this
 These tougher days

 I always felt that you won't understand
 So I bled out quietly
 The medicine held my hand
 And made me feel like I can stand up
 The toll it's taking on my chest now
 Bridges burning and chances left out
 List of things that I regret now
 Build up this resentment
 The longer I stay numb, the longer I don't have to think much
 Never have to think about my father and how he walked out on us
 How I barely know my mother, for that I'm ashamed
 Afraid of what they think of me, so I stay away
 You keep your hopes up that I can change
 Well I stay honest, you do the same
 I'll keep my purpose, you keep your faith
 That we can get through this
 These tougher days
