What You Don't Know

Crying in the hotel bathroom

17 years old

I thought that I’d moved past you

But I just want your hand to hold

'Cos it don’t feel like a holiday

Leaving you behind

Mama said we had to get away but

I thought we were fine

What you don’t know

Can keep you alive

What you don’t know

It can keep you alive

And I want to be alive

To see the world turn right

Crying in the basement bathroom

15 years old

I can hear faintly through the floorboards

Mama screaming let me go

So I turn on the shower

Bury my head in the noise

Water getting colder by the hour

Just trying to avoid

What you don’t know

Can keep you alive

What you don’t know

It can keep you alive

And I want to be alive

To see the world turn right

Crying in the baby’s bedroom

24 years old

I don’t know if I can do this

Be the one to hold

I’m haunted by the memory

That bad blood in my views

I want to believe it isn’t me

Believe a line can break

What you don’t know

It can lock you inside

What you don’t know

It can keep you alive

And I want to be alive

To see the world turn right
