All This Time Lyrics - Singles - Jen Foster

Words & music by Jen Foster 

Won't you please tell me just where you're going 

I'm on edge with this uncertainty 

I know I have made it hard to get to know me 

It's terrifying - you may not like what you see 

And I know that you would love to break me down 

But some things are just too hard to talk about 

All this time I've been lyin', been lyin' to you 

So afraid that you'd leave me if you knew the truth 

All this time I've been tryin' to reach out to you 

All this time I've been lyin', where you goin', where you goin'? 

Please don't leave, I never meant to hurt you 

I'm just locked up in this solitary pain 

I learned young that keeping secrets is a virtue 

What happened to me - I can't bring myself to say 

And I know that if I say it, it is true 

And I'm scared that you would leave me if you knew 

All this time I've been lyin', been lyin' to you 

So afraid that you'd leave me if you knew the truth 

All this time I've been tryin' to reach out to you 

All this time I've been lyin', where you goin', where you goin'? 

As you leave I say a quiet prayer for mercy 

One more time, just turn around and look at me 

And as I pray, you say you never would desert me 

"In fact, come with me - I was just going out for groceries." 

And the stars fade out in the sky tonight 

And the dawn breaks in and spreads the light
