You'll Never Know
I felt my confidence
Sinking with every word you said
And the promise of love you made
Came to nothing
Came to nothing
From the window I heard you talk
Holding court gathered in the hall
Bitter words eating out my soul
And the laughter
The worst of all
You'll never know
The tears I cried in vain
But how it shows
When it comes again
Here it comes again
You'll never know
The burning deep inside
My dying throes
Words I heard that night
Hear them every night
All my dreams shattered in one night
Just a shadow of what was my self
Down the spiral staircase fall
Into despair
Into hell
In my throat choking back the tears
A taste so bitter to be not defined
I recall every barb-edged word
Echo-like repeating in my mind
And now I mourn the loss
Of a love that was never mine
All the faith and trust I gave
The wounded victims left far behind
All my dreams shattered in one night
Just a shadow of what was myself
Down the spiral staircase fall
Into despair
Into hell
