Discovered - Dave Patten

Six days in I’m struggling to keep myself awake

Unheard, away from her

She’s got me pinned, my back to the wall I’m thinking this is it So long, too bad, move on And then I stop and I realize what went on and I realize I was wrong

To her, inside it hurts

So this is me softly whispering uncut untold untouched alone

Discovered

Please don’t think anything I say is from my mind

It’s not, my language my thoughts, no Everything you hear is exactly what I fear

My dreams, my years, my nightmares, my tears

And when I write I feel I’m undeserving of you

I try I do I hide it I wish you would believe how far you’ve carried me Uncut untold untouched alone discovered

I never said the things I wanted to when you were there

And now I know it word for word what I’d say to you here

And then I’d show you how much I’ve discovered

I told myself I wouldn’t let it push me this far again

And I was careful not to do it but now look where I am So unworthy, now I’ve discovered
