I wish that I had told you
If I had let out those feelings
Then perhaps I would have found that
I was not the only one with these things in mind
I kept them locked away
Safe from you, safe from the light of day
They consumed me and I burned but they were safe, safe from you.
They were safe from you, but I wasn't safe from them.
Melancholy showed me a world I had never seen.
A world where in eating I was never satisfied,
in drink I found no quenching
Where sleep was driven from my forlorn eyes
and solitude became my companion.
Yet I kept those feelings locked away,
Safe, Yes safe from you.
