Tonight she cries herself to sleep On a pillow made of dreams That she has denied A whisper made by candlelight As she stares at scars from the night How did this become her life?
I'll try and keep your secret safely forgotten
Your sanctuary has begun to show me Of your life misleading All your constant sorrow Still all alone
I'll try and keep your secret safely forgotten
Lying awake brings no relief Just like the Sun burns through the sheets She only knows to hide Too far away to hear the screams Of her little girl as she pleads Oh God, just let me die
I'll try and keep your secret safely forgotten
Your sanctuary has begun to show me Of your life misleading All your constant sorrow Still all alone
Just one more day To show you all I've changed Please take me back home Gone so long Mother please Again on my knees Oh help me please
