Tears on the Pillow

I lock the door

and keep it all inside

The secrets of

the dark where we would hide

They left me here

with nobody to tell

I learned to wear

a smile and wear it well (hmmm)

They think I'm happy when they see my face

But they don't see this quiet,

hollow space

My pillow knows the tears I cry at night

I'm reaching out but there's no hand in sight

The only one who knew the pain is gone

I'm all alone and trying to hold on

You finally found me,

saw behind the mask

You answered questions

I could never ask

But now you've vanished

like the morning light

And left me fighting

with a quiet night

How much longer can I stand?

Sinking slow in shifting sand I don't know how to survive

this storm (no, I

don't know)

My pillow knows the tears I cry at night

I'm reaching out but there's no hand in sight

The only one who knew the pain is gone

I'm all alone and trying to hold on

I don't know

how long I can last (hushhh)
