Brad Etter - Dear Adam Lyrics

Dear Adam
I've got something on my heart
It's a lot
And I'm not sure where to start
But here goes nothing
And if it's awkward when I'm done
Then I'm so sorry
But at least this song will be sung
Dear Adam
Dear Adam
Dear Adam
I admit that high school sucked
I used my best friend
To disguise misguided lust
Inside a bathroom stall
You could find me all alone
With my lunch tray my guilt
And an urge to end it all
It's true Adam
Dear Adam
When that limbo came along
Between high school and who we'd become
I admit I watched you from afar
'Cause unlike me you were proud of who you are
And from a prison cell guarded by a made-up me
I saw in you the kind of person I could be
A man of love and authenticity
Instead I chose misery
I told myself I'd never tell
Take my secret to the grave or go to Hell
But I can't be a tell-tale heart beating in the floor
Under my god in human form
They say to love the sinner hate the sin
But what if sin's the only way to let love in
And what if God lives in the man you find love in?
Guess I found a new religion
And I hope this note finds you well
But I just had to tell
The way I felt for you all those years
You helped me overcome my fears
And I don't expect a reply
But I just cannot lie
So here it is the plain and simple truth
I love you
Dear Adam
Just wanted you to know now
Just wanted you to know
Dear Adam
Just wanted you to know now
Just wanted you to know
Dear Adam
Just wanted you to know now
Just wanted you to know
Dear Adam
Just wanted you to know now
Just wanted you to know
Dear Adam
My song has been sung
And if you're still listening
It's over and done
And I want you to know
That on this darkest night
You're the reason
I didn't live a lie
Love
Brad
