Words from a gonzoesque life in an oh so gonzoless world

Something to Tell You

Something to Tell You by Melodie Yvonne

Now I’ve got something to tell you I just can’t explain
This truth it eats away at me and rots away my brain

I just feel I’m suffocating
In this life I own
And I just feel I lost my way now
And I should have known

I know it’s not too late to fix it
Not too late to try
So I guess it’s time to walk away now
Time to say goodbye

Now I’ve got something to tell you, lean in close to me
Once I just can find the words here they will set me free

The truth is I don’t know the answer
See I’m just a fraud
I really don’t know how I got here
But I turned from God

Now I’ve got something to tell you, it might set you free
But my truth is mostly circumstantial, why do you want to hear from me?

I wish I had a nickel for each time
‘Twas said to me
“Now I’ve got something to tell you”
It might set me free

See I don’t know just how I got here
But now I just don’t care
And from here on out I’m going to just
Let God’s will take me there

Now I’ve got something to tell you I just can’t explain
The truth it eats away here, and it rots away my brain
