No Use for a Name - Secret Lyrics

Father works the late shift,
Mother drinks herself to sleep
Brother's outside fiending with a match
And gasoline

They told her lies and gave her no hope for tomorrow
And all the fairy tales just fade away
The brightest day of all,
The one that she's been needing
Turns to gray

The boyfriend calls her crazy,
Teacher bores us all to sleep
And friends are in the bathroom
Speaking just like enemies

Nobody understands her heart that's left there bleeding
The dirty secret living in her mind
They'll always tell you that you lit the fire you're feeding
Left behind

Nobody understands the shame that you've been feeling
The dirty secret living in her heart
It must be hard to put the pieces back together, torn apart

Always there to make you think that you're no good
There's nothing wrong with what you've done
They just want to lift you up and throw you down
And make you stop when all you want to do is run

Nobody understands the shame that you've been feeling
The dirty secret living in her heart
It must be hard to put the pieces back together
Torn apart
