Something That Only She Knows

Something That Only She Knows

Never see an item out of place

In the fortress that she’s made

Crystal in the cabinet face one way

Floors are polished each and every day

Sometimes you’re afraid to sit down

Might disturb perfection all around

You wonder how she stays composed

It’s something that only she knows

But she keeps her world tidy

And organizes her things

Puts away her memories

Just like she does her dreams

And while she’s deciding

It’s as sad as it seems

Cuz she wants so bad to go

It’s something that only she knows

She thinks about escape someday

But mostly puts those thoughts away

A servant playing her part

Brewing coffee along with her heart

They see the smile on her face

She’s sure to remain in her place

You wonder what keeps her enclosed

It’s something that only she knows

But she keeps her world tidy

And organizes her things

Puts away her memories

Just like she does her dreams

And while she’s deciding

It’s as sad as it seems

Cuz she wants so bad to go

It’s something that only she knows

Someday the light will shine down

She’s finally come around

Remember who she’s always been

Learn to be her own best friend

Find the life that’s waiting for her

Her world’s gonna change in a blur

You wonder how she finally chose

It’s something that only she knows

Ooh, she kept her world tidy

And she organized her things

Now she’s making new memories

And resurrecting her dreams

Since she’s decided

It’s as sad as it seems

Cuz they finally had to let go

It’s something that only she knows
