In a house
In a room
Behind a door
So long ago
Nothing grows here anymore
But walls have memory

Long ago, yesterday
Fear entered the room
There are cuts that no one sees
That are hidden well (buried deep)
So deep in a stained heart (broken heart)
There is no going back
(To the one I used to be)

There's no peace tonight (there's no peace at all)
There is no charm to make it right (love to make it right)
And what was murdered must live on (oh it must live on)
And my own secret's safe with me, safe with me

Long ago, every day
Someone's longing for
Someone to heal all the wounds
All the endless pain
Someone to bring back (bring her back)
To embrace the child (child I used to be)

Say a silent prayer (silent prayer)
A lullaby that no one hears (that no one hears)
A song of mourning for the lost (mourning for the lost)
And my own secret, safe with me

There's no peace tonight (there's no peace at all)
There is no charm to make it right (love to make it right)
And what was murdered must live on (oh it must live on)
And my own secret's safe with me, safe with me
