Let it Go

she whispers in fear
what if he knows
what if he could hear?
desperation fills her
tell me, tell me dear
what is hauting you?
your eyes hold shadows
just let it go, let it go

she speaks so slow
that can't be, it can't
"he hides the bodies
underneath our beds,
he kills them slowly.
he kissed me on the forehead,
i saw him do it,
he said i'd forget-
it would be our secret."
she spoke so low...
just let it go, let it go

i held her close
we will run away
and he will never know
we can heal then
there won't be any ghosts
under our sheets
or in the shadows
we can let it go, let it go

time moves so slow
it can't be, it can't
"he hid the bodies
underneath our beds,
he killed them slowly.
he kissed me on the forhead,
i saw him do it,
and he said i'd forget-
but it's not a secret.
the words she spoke
and she let it go, let it go
