you don't know it
(and i'll never tell you)
but each night
i ask for Them
to keep you safe...

you're floundering,
and trying to hold your head
above water,
all the while
lying to yourself

and honey, the
broad-siding is coming fast.
can't stop
can't stop,
but honey, you'd better
soon.

cause you don't know it,
(and i'll never tell you,)
but i did what needed
to be done
for you to be
on the path you should've
chosen originally.

so hate me, if you will,
and think ill if you want,
but each time i
remember your face
i'm at peace

'cause, for once, there're
things that you don't know,
and it's what i'll never tell.
