It must be because I'm grown
that only when I'm all alone
Only when no one's around
and no one here to hear the sound...
Elsewhere masks, like Her I make
elsewhere new emotions fake
Her's hide beauty
Mine, mistakes
and so I stay my favorite place
without a sound and hide my face
and hide the things it would display
so hide the shadow of dismay
and here because I need not hide
only here where none can chide
only here where hopes have died
Only here can I abide.
