Hiding in the dark corner crying on your knee
Tear stained skin gathers all around your face
Turn the lights back on and try to cover if with makeup
Hope no one calls you on your humiliating secret
You wish your life wouldn't be this way
You always tell yourself that you are going to change
Yet still you always end up back in that dark corners refuge
You know how you are supposed to feel
So you pretend that you're filled with joy
But you are the only one who knows what really lies inside your soul
Just keep away from the temptation of tears
And the dreams that gamble with death
Just lie in your mother's arms
Wrap yourself up tight knowing all the while
That tomorrow everything won't be alright.

Hiding in the dark corner crying on your knee
Tear stained skin gathers all around your face
Turn the lights back on and try to cover if with makeup
Hope no one calls you on your humiliating secret
You wish your life wouldn't be this way
You always tell yourself that you are going to change
Yet still you always end up back in that dark corners refuge
You know how you are supposed to feel
So you pretend that you're filled with joy
But you are the only one who knows what really lies inside your soul
Just keep away from the temptation of tears
And the dreams that gamble with death
Just lie in your mother's arms
Wrap yourself up tight knowing all the while
That tomorrow everything won't be alright.
