I Know

I know about all those things

You think you hide so well

I know about the way you smile

In the dark - behind your veil

Of what you show to the world

And what you hide away

I know about the book of numbers and names

After all these years

I know about the way your eyes

Can flow alligator tears

These things you hide from the world

But they’re all so clear to me

I wish I didn’t know

The way you hide away

You’d be so beautiful

If I thought you were

Exactly how you seem

I know about the way I feel

When you go home with him

I know about the dreams I had

Before your act grew thin

From what you show to the world

And what you show to me
