what's done in the dark
cry me a river
I'm cold as stone
no tears to bejewel my eyes
you are worthy of an ocean
I silently hold my pain
hurt in a glance
you catch sight of it
I look away
what's wrong babe?
nothing just the sun in my eyes
I'm keeping a secret from you
a no-good wife
you turn a blind eye
you're willing to put up with so much
I can't bear to watch you lose your grip
I catch you still watching me from the window
a parent with a wayward child
you have the right to worry
I don't know what's good for me
I'm frightened by the world
the wolves know I'm prey there's no hiding it
I have a broken mind
sadly it comes with a rebellious streak
I can't stand to break you down anymore
it's not fair to you
you're a good man
you deserve a whole wife
not the half wife I've proven to be
I'm planning to leave
I haven't told you yet
it's going to kill me to leave
I've made choices makes it impossible to stay
I've set my course
it will drive you out of my life forever
I pray you never find out
what the devil did in the dark
with your childlike wife
