Once upon a time,
You were always on my mind.

I’ve watched you from afar . . .
Wished on every star.

I hoped some day you would be mine.
I’m drowning in the sands of time.

Like a puppet on strings
I’ve waited in the wings.

I’m just a voice in the wind
Begging you to let me in.

I’m just a face in the crowd.
There’s things I haven’t said out loud.

I blend in with the shadow,
Trying to decide if you are friend or foe.

I’ve decided you’re not my kind of man,
And now it is time to take a stand.

The things you said don’t mean a thing.
Now I am cutting the strings.

It’s time for me to move on,
But my love or you is not gone.

No one knows the tears I cry.
No one knows the reasons why.

No one knows the fears I hide.
No one knows the dreams that died.

No one knows the me inside.

No one knows the secrets I keep.
No one knows the hours I silently weep.

No one knows the feelings run deep.
No one knows the nights I don’t sleep.

No one knows the me inside.

No one knows the sorrows I feel.
No one knows the thought are so real.

No one knows the voices I hear.
No one knows the things I hold dear.

No one knows the me inside.
