I wanna go where the mountains are high enough to echo my song
Thrown into slavery then crime was the color of skin Too much hypocrisy in this old southern town for me I have known for a year and just got the balls to face it, and after we shared our last kiss, I couldn't hold it in anymore. Finding someone, and falling head over heels with no struggle? Loving this person has been the biggest struggle of my life, and it has taken me exactly a year to say that I love them. Maybe I am jaded, but the fairy tale of love is so unrealistic to me. I know I am loved back in some way, maybe not as much and maybe not in the ways that I would like, but I know that love is here, and I am proud that I get to experience it. Loving someone is amazing, and to be loved back is the best feeling in the world. I told someone two days ago that I loved them, and it was one of the most painful moments of my life, and I can honestly say the only time that I have REALLY felt that I loved someone. In highschool, alot of people probably had relationships and thought they were in love, I know I did, but most of us weren't actually in love. I have learned in my life that many people think they are ready to fall in love and have that relationship and be in love, when in all reality they aren't. This song talks about being ready for love, obviously.
