Maybe Let's Find Myself Tonight

by Emma Carnage   Nov 4, 2006


I want to destroy something beautiful
See what it means once it's ugly
I want to see what you see in me
And discover who I really am
On this seventeenth year
Maybe I could find out where my pride is

I want to wake up where you are
And be done with all the secrets
Let's find out how to mend this broken trust
Now that I finally know how to love
I just want to break away and fall apart
For once, let me stop apologizing

I will watch my problems evaporate away
Along with the alcohol in my blood
Maybe I could smoke them away
Just once
And maybe once more after that
But then I've lost myself

I hope to let the past go soon
Stop staring at my skin
And maybe even take all those knives from my back
Perhaps I could grow

So maybe they'll see me now
Let me grow up
I don't want to be stuck anymore
Stop seeing who I was
Look at who I am
