Story Of My Life

Our love was volatile and weird.

All I thought as I hopped the Grayhound was,

"Get me the fuck outa here."

I ran...

I ran away from you.

Packed my tears and all my fears.

I had nothing better to do.

Mommy,

Mommy, I know you know the truth.

I'm sorry that you're heartbroken.

Now, all I am is missing you.

And, when I left

I dropped a trail of candy hearts,

hoping you would wait for me...

I just want, to come home tonight.

This is the story of my life.

One week,

shouldn't have even been one day.

I am calling from a payphone,

twenty three hundred miles away.

Bad things I can not even say.

If not for the kindess of strangers,

I would not be alive today.

Mommy,

Mommy, I know you know the truth.

I'm sorry that you're heartbroken.

Now, all I am is missing you.

And, when I left

I dropped a trail of candy hearts,

hoping you would search for me...

I just want, to come home tonight.

This is the story of my life.
