There was a time I had to handle all myself
I forgot just how to speak and say my name
And I'm here alone in this room that's never cold
And it hurts me still
There was a time I had this fear before I sang
No one told me I should do it for myself
So I took the mic and I sang with all my heart
And I hope that they remember that
Oh, not this time, I'm not gonna keep it quiet
I will open up the gates and I hope that it will heal me, oh
My Lord, please don't let me be alone
Yeah, I'm leaving town tomorrow and I hope that it will heal me
Yeah, I'm leaving town tomorrow and I hope that it will heal me
Over time my heart has told me not to waste
Any minute more controlling myself
So I picked up the one with the saddest eyes of all
And I tried to get her off the shelf
Oh, not this time, I'm not gonna keep it quiet
I will open up the gates and I hope that it will heal me, oh
My Lord, please don't let me be alone
Yeah, I'm leaving town tomorrow and I hope that it will heal me
Yeah, I'm leaving town tomorrow and I hope that it will heal me
Oh, not this time, I'm not gonna keep it quiet
I will open up the gates and I hope that it will heal me, oh
My Lord, please don't let me be alone
Yeah, I'm leaving town tomorrow and I hope that it will heal me
Oh, yeah, I'm leaving town tomorrow and I hope that it will heal me
