I lay down

Cover my mouth

Because my cries

Should not be heard

This pain I feel

Is just too real

Can’t let it out

Can’t let you see

I can’t explain

What it does to me

But it breaks me down

Everyday

My best friend

Has become a memory

Who knows my truth

I won’t let them see

Can’t let it out

Can’t scream and shout

Just gotta cry

Alone late at night

Cause no one knows

And no one asks

Cause I never told

Couldn’t show the black

And now I see

What it means

To be alone

In my own

Can’t let go

I’ve got to get hold

Of me
