They Never Know

They never know................... 
What crushes me so 

The learning of things......... 
before my time 
It was not the place................ 
The hurt it brings 

It was not for me........ 
these things I know 
What crushed me so 
It has been taken 
I wanted to flee 

Sometimes as days passed 
I thought the hurt would last 
Time and time again 
I felt this pain 

They never know........... 
The real me 
What crushes me so 
The pain you see........... 
I hide it.............. 
I hide it, even from me........... 

They never know 
What crushd me so 
I have put it behind 
These terrble things 
For my heart sings 
I let it all go 

I let it all go 
These terrible things 
That had crushed me so 

The learning of things.......... 
Before my time 
has  passed 

For the tears began to spill 
when I reached for that pill 
but I have let it go 
These terrible things, 
will never crush me so
