It came out like a riv er once I let it out,
when I thought that I would n’t know how.
Held on to it for ev er just push in’ it down,
felt so good to let go of it now.
Not wrap pin’ this in rib bons, should n’t have to (Ab)give a rea son why.
It’s no sur (Ab)here in this soul left to say.
Don’t be sur (Eb)prised when we hate this to mor row,
