She knew, deep down she knew, but would not tell
She knew the day she heard the morning bell
She knew, but kept the fever to herself
She placed the secret neatly on a shelf
She knew, but her eyes would not let it show
She knew they shine with innocence, they glow
Her lips were sealed with the prettiest smile
She knew she'd wear it for a little while
She knew that it would tear her up inside
She knew she could run but could never hide
She didn't care as long as her secret
Was taken to the grave with no regrets
She didn't know we all knew but played dumb
We knew the secret that made her so numb
