There's a place deep down inside your heart
That no-one ever sees,
It's where the pain and hurt are kept
That you don't want to feel
But someday when you least expect
A trickle starts to flow,
A taste of what the pain will feel
When it really starts to flow
And when this pain and hurt begin
And flow without a stop,
It feels that life holds nothing
And your life is like a clock
A clock that ticks inside your head
Just like a ticking bomb,
And everything about your life
Just goes so very wrong
I had to learn to speak and tell
Of things I'd buried deep,
And after 18 years of silence
I finally could weep
I cried for all those years I lost
Because of just one man,
I punched and screamed and felt like crap
But now I think I can
Go on with life without the fear
That used to live inside,
I'm off to start a new life now
There's no more need to hide
