Nobody Knows

Tommy was lying on his bed in Montana, thinking about how he left Jude. Silently lying there in his room he shed a few tears thinking about how much he had hurt her. Darius left a message on his cell phone telling him that she was a mess the day he left and she ditched her release party. Despite his attempts to try and fall asleep he couldn't, thinking about her. He decided to check on his niece Nora in the next room to see if she was sleeping okay. He couldn't believe that his little niece could remain so strong when she had lost both her parents and he was so weak when he hadn't lost Jude, it was his choice to leave.

Nobody knows
Nobody knows but me
That I sometimes cry
If I could pretend that I'm asleep
When my tears start to fall
I peek out from behind these walls
I think nobody knows
Nobody knows no

He still couldn't believe how he left her, after so long he had finally asked her on a date. Not only was he late, but he out of nowhere told her he was leaving and might not be coming back - no explanation. Had he completely lost his mind? He hurt her again and he knew it. But he had to leave, for Nora.

Nobody likes
Nobody likes to lose their inner voice
The one I used to hear before my life
Made a choice
But I think nobody knows
No no
Nobody knows
No

He hadn't told anyone where he was going. He didn't even pick up his phone. All he did was check his messages a few times a day, his heart breaking every time hearing about what he had done to Jude. He couldn't go back now though, he blew his chance, and now he had no one to help him.

Baby
Oh the secret's safe with me
There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be
And baby don't it feel like I'm all alone
Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown
And I've lost my way back home
I think nobody knows no
I said nobody knows
Nobody cares

He had lost his chance. It didn't matter that he had tried his hardest to make up for all the previous things he had done to Jude, this was too much. Somehow he would always hurt her but now the hit was too big to fix.

It's win or lose not how you play the game
And the road to darkness has a way
Of always knowing my name
But I think nobody knows
No no
Nobody knows no no no no

Now it was only him and Nora. She was his responsibility now. Everybody back home probably hated him right now and he would probably never go back.

Baby
Oh the secret's safe with me
There's nowhere else in the world that I could ever be
And baby don't it feel like I'm all alone
Who's gonna be there after the last angel has flown
And I've lost my way back home
And oh no no no no
Nobody knows
No no no no no no

As much as he thought he knew Jude didn't want him anymore a message from Kwest on his cell phone really hit him hard. He said she had no music without him and she'd do anything for him to come back. If he wasn't there she decided she wouldn't be there either and she was planning on quitting music since he was gone. Tommy knew Jude, he knew music meant everything to her and now he found out that he somehow meant more. He decided he'd go back to Toronto with Nora. He would have a long talk with Jude and explain everything because she meant everything to him.

Tomorrow I'll be there my friend
I'll wake up and start all over again
When everybody else is gone
No no no

He was still lying there in bed, thinking about his plan. He heard his heart beat in the dark room and hoped that the next day, his plan that only he knew about would work. He'd get her back.

Nobody knows
Nobody knows the rhythm of my heart
The way I do when I'm lying in the dark
And the world is asleep
I think nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows but me
Me

The End
