My Own Songs - Never Let It Show

Never Let It Show
J. Betts, 2011

Been a long time since I seen your face let alone heard your name
This is not the way this should have ended, first player down in this game
Read and read again to believe
My friend is gone, somewhere she needs to be

Now’s the time the scars will fade
The time has come to wash the pain away
Lay back and let it flow and in the night we will all know
How you hurt in silence and never let it show

I remember you, you’re the one who read what I had to say
Lotta looking back going on and you were so understanding of the ways
All them feelings you had inside will now all fade with time
While we will all remember you and the ones you leave behind

Now’s the time the scars will fade
The time has come to wash the pain away
Lay back and let it flow and in the night we will all know
How you hurt in silence and never let it show

So young, so bruised
Too young to be abused
So young to be the one
To feel unused

Now’s the time the scars will fade
The time has come to wash the pain away
Lay back and let it flow and in the night we will all know
How you hurt in silence and never let it show

Don’t forget to look behind you as you prepare for higher ground
Wave us all goodbye
