I Surrender - Colleen D'Agostino

Growing up in California

In the land of broken dreams

Always reaching, always stuck here in between

Where the sunset shines like diamonds and the future looks so dark

And the streets are filled with cold and lonely hearts

And all the hometown heroes make up stories to send home

And all the plastic smiles hide what it’s like to feel alone

And I know I’m not without sin

Played my part in make-believe

Coming out from underneath

I surrender

To this feeling;

to this heart within my chest

I surrender

To the real me I’ve kept hidden from the rest

And I’m peeled every layer until the truth is all thats left

I surrender

I surrender

I surrender

Passing all the pretty faces

On the corner of our streets

Crowded places where nobody ever leaves

Where the air is hot and heavy

Like the secrets of our youth

Always play it cool so no one knows the truth

And all the hometown heroes make up stories to send home

And all the plastic smiles hide what it’s like to feel alone

And I know I’m not without sin

Played my part in make-believe

I’m coming out from underneath

And I want to be washed clean

I surrender

To this feeling;

to this heart within my chest

I surrender

To the real me I’ve kept hidden from the rest

And I’m peeled every layer until the truth is all thats left

I surrender

I surrender

I surrender

Whoa…

I surrender

To this feeling;

to this heart within my chest

I surrender

To the real me I’ve kept hidden from the rest

And I’m peeled every layer until the truth is all thats left

I surrender

I surrender

I surrender
