She kept it hid from you ...

Because you didn't see it:  you never knew what happened to me
And because you never asked you never  knew my tragedy
But the sorrows I carried inside me, will always be as before
Memories etched inside my spirit and guardians of my door

You never really knew, all the sorrows that I had known
Or the fears I had to face; when I was child feeling alone 
But the pages of all  my angels will echo deep and true
This child was truly a victim and she kept it hid from you.

You cannot begin to understand it: the secrets I chose to hide
I didn't call attention from others,  I kept them hidden  inside
But little by little they came out: these messengers of my wounds
And said "it's time for healing" and it couldn't have been too soon

You never really knew all the sorrows that I had known
Or the fears I had to face when I was child feeling alone 
But the pages of all  my angels will echo deep and true
This child was truly a victim and she kept it hid from you.

So I go through mixed emotions and am a stranger to  my kin
They haven't ever really known me: I wouldn't know where to begin
We lived in a different era and we all knew a very different day
So when we're  speaking  of  happiness: I can't relate to what they say

You never really knew all the sorrows that I had known
Or the fears I had to face when I was child feeling alone 
But the pages of all  my angels will echo deep and true
This child was truly a victim and she kept it hid from you ...
