What They Don't Know

Keep pain hidden from them all
What they don't know can't hurt me...
How soon will my defense fall?
What they don't know can't hurt me...
I'll be cold, brutal, mean
What they don't know can't hurt me...
Then I'll keep my honor clean
What they don't know can't hurt me...
No one will know, but no one cares
What they don't know can't hurt me...
Don't mind what my conscience bears
What they don't know can't hurt me...
I'll be untouched, alone and free
What they don't know can't hurt me...
Ignoring this hurt deep in me
What they don't know can't hurt me...
Go on and whisper, go on and hide
What they don't know can't hurt me...
It just wears me down inside
What they don't know can't hurt me...
My chin held high, I'll sniff and sneer
What they don't know can't hurt me...
You'll never see a single tear
What they don't know can't hurt me...
I'll find deliverance someday
What they don't know can't hurt me...
'Til then, my pain stays locked away
What they don't know...hurts me.
