Windows of My Past

If you only knew what I try so hard to hide.
If you only knew about the rivers I've cried.
If you only knew about the memories that haunt me.
If you only knew how many times I blamed myself.

If you only knew about the pain I felt for so long.
If you only knew about the pages I've darkened.
If you only knew what lay beneath my mask.
If you only knew who I truly am...

But if I were to show you the truth,
Would you turn your back to me?
Would you stay by my side when I need you?
Or would you pretend nothing was ever said?

If I were to reveal a piece of myself,
Would you care, or simply look past it?
If I were to reveal a part of me kept hidden,
Would you stay, or simply walk away?

If I were to open the windows of my past,
If I were to let you see the truth,
Would you truly understand...?
