No One Has To Know


They hurt me

They hold me down

I don't have it in me

To fight back sometimes

So I let them hurt me some more

I let them suck me dry

Take it all away

Make me cry

I let them beat and bruise

And I sometimes feel nothing

But used and abused

By the hands

That should be tender

I give and I cave

I surrender

But with you

I fly

HIgher then high

I feel everything

I feel better then better

 

With you

I feel nothing but joy

With you

I hold my stomach

As I keen over with laughter

With you

My cheeks burn and hurt

From smiling so much

You

You

Something you do

All you are

Every piece

Every scar

You hold me so well

You make it all go away

 

We don't have to wait

No one asked us to stay

We could turn our backs

Right here today

And leave all this behind us

All this betrayal and pain

We could walk away

Take this rain

And turn it to gold

You and me

We could sell our demons and secrets

For clean air

And you and I

We could run on it for days

I don't care

I just know

I want you 

All over and around me

 

So let's get away

Out of here

Let's pack all we are

Every memory we hold close

You and I

We can slip out

No one has to know

No one will ever find us

Our trace

WIll be erased

By the morning light

We can disapear

Like thieves in the night

And no one

Has to know
