Tonight she cries herself to sleep   on a pillow made of dreams   That she has denied   A whisper made, black 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   All 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 drains through the sheets    She only knows to hide   too far away to hear the screams, of a 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   All 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   Been gone so long, oh mother please   Again on my knees, oh help me please
