I don't remember much, I tried to put it aside
All I know is I was empty, scared and frozen inside
You were away, hospital stays for nights

Something was wrong and you were hurting and we didn't know why

And then we learned the news, remember Daddy cried

Nothing's worse than seeing someone so strong so petrified
I didn't know whether to scream or die
So I just covered up my eyes pretending everything's fine


Oh, no I never showed you all my tears 'cause I don't
Want this to be something that's real, and I hoped

That somehow my love might make it go

And I apologize for never showing I cared

But with all the fear and pain I felt no words could compare
I was so wrong, it wasn't strong not to share
The feelings in my heart, my nightmares, and the dreams that I bear


Oh, no I never showed you all my tears 'cause I don't
Want this to be something that's real, and I hoped

That somehow my love might make it go

How could I, How could I go

Go so long and not let you know
That I'm so scared and so angry, too
It's so unfair, why did this happen to you


Oh, no I never showed you all my tears 'cause I don't
Want this to be something that's real, and I hoped

That somehow my love might make it go
