Safely Forgotten

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
