Secrets Out
She wants to hide
But the memories are burning inside.
She try’s to wash away
The smell that won’t go away.
Everyone’s going to know
And it’s beyond her control.
She runs from shame
Things will never be the same.
Ask her how she hid it all these years,
With cover up smiles hiding berried tears.
She hid it so well,
But now its time to tell.
The smell that won’t go away.
Everyone’s going to know
And it’s beyond her control.
She runs from shame
Things will never be the same.
They say the truth will set you free
Only they didn’t hear a little girl’s plea.
That’s not what a fathers love suppose to be!
Look in her eyes
If you want to know how innocence dies.
The smell that won’t go away.
Everyone’s going to know
And it’s beyond her control.
She runs from shame
Things will never be the same.
The secrets out
Without a doubt!
