Maybe it's not all that complicated,
Or I found a way to be less jaded.
Was it ever some elaborate dance?
I'll give my authenticity a chance.
No wearing masks, needing no illusion,
The past is the past, no more confusion.
Speaking to you always straight from the heart,
No need to forgive, no back to the start.
I know what was missing so long ago,
Before my faith was lost in my ego.
No more competing and no persuasion,
Fuck playing games, that shit was never fun.
Only trusting what I know til the end,
No more assumptions, no playing pretend.
There is no undo for damage once done,
Those lessons were learned, on to the real one.
