Secret - No Use For A Name

Father works the late shift, mother drinks herself to sleep

Brother’s outside fiending with a match and gasoline

They told her lies and gave her no hope for tomorrow

And all the fairy tales just fade away

The brightest day of all the one that she’s been needing turns to gray

The boyfriend calls her crazy, teacher bores us all to sleep

And friends are in the bathroom speaking just like enemies

Nobody understands her heart that’s left there bleeding

The dirty secret living in her mind

They’ll always tell you that you lit the fire you’re feeding left behind

Always there to make you think that you’re no good

There’s nothing wrong with what you’ve done

They just wanna lift you up and throw you down

And make you stop when all you wanna do is run

Nobody understands the shame that you’ve been feeling

The dirty secret living in her heart

It must be hard to put the pieces back together, torn apart
