about

Sometimes the best way to help someone is to leave them alone for a while. Everyone needs some time for themselves sometimes.

Fun fact: this track has been deleted, rebuilt and returned many times. 22ghosts thought this Frankenstein composition was very nice, otherwise it probably wouldn't have made the album.

lyrics

I know you didn’t set out to make me mad
But the truth is you made me mad
I need a moment by myself
By myself means on my own
I need a minute alone

Truth be told
I don’t want to let you
Down down down down down
Truth be told
But I don’t want to lose myself in the process

Now...
My head is back to what it used to do
And I got to feeling that I’m missing you
It’s a feeling I enjoy
Like a softness in the air
Think I’m ready to share

Truth be told
I don’t want to let you
Down down down down down
Truth be told
But I don’t want to lose myself in the process

Truth be told
I don’t want to let you
Down down down down down
Truth be told
I already feel like I have

It’s not about what you said
Nor about the way or why
More about what I left
Can I give it one more try

It’s not about what you said
Nor about the way or why
More about what I left
Can I give it one more try

Truth be told
I don’t want to let you
Down down down down down
Truth be told
But I don’t want to lose myself in the process

Truth be told
I don’t want to let you
Down down down down down
Truth be told
I already feel like I have
