Don't Let Them Know.
Tell them it was an accident,
But don't tell them it was suicide.
Make up the biggest lie,
With those pretty little fingers tied.
But keep those lips sealed,
Don't say the word "Suicide"
Let the obituary read,
"life well lived, young, but wise"
But god, don't speak that simple word of Suicide.
You may live your whole life vein,
I don't care if you're ashamed.
By now, I'm dead and gone.
With the wind, you'll hear my voice.
When those bright lights shine, you'll see my soul.
That exceedingly loud ringing in your ears, that was my cry for help you never seemed to hear.
Well now, you hear.
But don't let that ruin your life, my dear.
Please don't let them know it was suicide.
I was alone, night by night.
Day by day, I wrote my life away.
Now close them beautiful eyes,
Sleep tight my angel.
Most of all,
Don't let them know I took my own life that day.
For all they know, I was just a lost soul.
Never found.
Never heard.
But now I'm in peace,
Don't worry about me anymore.
But don't tell them it was suicide.
