All This Time

Words & music by Jen Foster

Won't you please just tell me just where you're going?
I'm on edge with this uncertainy
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

And all this time, I've been lyin'
Been lyin' to you
So afraid that you'd leave me
If you knew the truth
And all this time, I've been tryin'
To reach out to you
And all this time, I've been lyin'
Where you going? Where you going?

Please don't leave, I never meant to hurt you
I'm just locked up in this solitary pain
I know 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

And all this time, I've been lyin'
Been lyin' to you
So afraid that you'd leave me
If you knew the truth
And all this time, I've been tryin'
To reach out to you
And all this time, I've been lyin'
Where you going? Where you going?

Where are you going?

And 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"
Just going out for groceries, yeah

And the stars fade out in the sky tonight
And the dawn breaks in and spreads the light
And I find that, find that I

Oh la la la la
Oh la la la la

I wanna reach out
Oh, I wanna reach out to you
I wanna reach out
Oh, I wanna reach out to you
All this time
All this time
