[Verse 1]
There was a time I had to handle all myself
I forgot just how to speak and say my name
And I'm here alone
In this room that's never cold

[Verse 2]
And it hurts me so
There was a time I had this fear before I sang
No one told me I should do it for myself
So, I took the mic
And I sang with all my heart
And I hope that they remember that

[Chorus]
Oh, not this time
I'm not gonna keep it quiet
I will open up the gates
And I hope that it will heal me
Oh, my Lord
Just don't let me be alonе
Yeah, I'm leaving town tomorrow
And I hope that it will hеal me

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, yeah, I'm leaving town tomorrow
And I hope that it will heal me
[Verse 3]
Overtime my heart has told me not to waste
Any minute more controlling myself
So, I picked the one
With the saddest eyes of all
And I tried to get her off the shelf

[Chorus]
Oh, not this time
I'm not gonna keep it quiet
I will open up the gates
And I hope that it will heal me
Oh, my Lord
Just don't let me be alone
Yeah, I'm leaving town tomorrow
And I hope that it will heal me

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, yeah, I'm leaving town tomorrow
And I hope that it will heal me

[Bridge]
I feel I can be somebody
There ain’t a doubt or a worry
I am the who knows I can, I can, I can
I’ll tell you ‘bout it
I feel I can be somebody
There ain’t a doubt or a worry
I am the who knows I can, I can, I can, I can
[Chorus]
Oh, not this time
I'm not gonna keep it quiet
I will open up the gates
And I hope that it will heal me
Oh, my Lord
Just don't let me be alone
Yeah, I'm leaving town tomorrow
And I hope that it will heal me
Oh, yeah, I'm leaving town tomorrow
And I hope that it will heal me

[Outro]
Heal me (O-oh)
Heal me
Oh (O-oh), I hope that it will heal me (O-oh)
Oh, yeah, I'm leaving town tomorrow
And I hope that it will heal me
