don't worry about me, i'll be fine
i'll make my bed and take my pills on time
and when i see somebody on the street
i make sure i say hello, i say hello
don't worry about me, i'll be good
and i'll do all the things you said that i should
and when i see somebody on the street
i make sure that i smile, though i can't stand them
they'll never know, they'll never see
they'll never get through to me
get through to me, get through to me
they'll never know, they'll never see
they'll never get through to me
get through to me, get through to me

don't worry about me, i'll be ok
i'll be the quiet one when there's nothing to say
just sitting by himself in the corner
singing this song, thinking of you
don't worry about me, i'll be allright
it's just that haven't slept for 64 nights
coz sleep won't come without your arms
wrapped around my soul
they'll never know, they'll never see
they'll never get through to me
get through to me, get through to me
they'll never know, they'll never see
they'll never get through to me
get through to me, get through to me

it's not that i got something to hide
it's just that, just that i got nothing inside
it feels like, feels like bulb in my ceiling went out
and i'm stuck in dark without you

no, i know i said that i won't even cry
but, but you gone so i see don't why
i shouldn't be spending every single day
curled up on my floor, thats my soul
yeah i know there'll be times when we'll meet
get a cup of tea or maybe pass on the streets
and everytime you look into my eyes
you'll se i'm living this life
just fakin it
they'll never know, they'll never see
they'll never get through to me
get through to me, get through to me
they'll never know, they'll never see
coz you are the only one, only one who ever knew me

Don't fret for me, I'll be fine, they'll say,
My bed made, pills swallowed, come what may.
When faces drift across the cold street's gaze,
I'll offer a greeting, in a practiced haze.
Don't fret for me, I'll be good, they'll swear,
Do all the things you said, beyond compare.
And when a stranger's eyes meet mine, I'll force a smile,
Though the very sight of them makes me beguile.
They'll never know, they'll never see,
They'll never pierce the walls around me.
Reach the soul within, the buried plea,
They'll never know, they'll never see,
They'll never reach the heart in me.
Reach the soul within, the buried plea.

Don't fret for me, I'll be okay, they'll claim,
The quiet one, when words become a game.
Sitting alone, in shadows he resides,
Singing this song, with thoughts of you inside.
Don't fret for me, I'll be alright, they insist,
Though sleep has fled, for sixty-four nights kissed
By absence, and the dreams that long to stay,
Without your arms, wrapped round my soul's array.
They'll never know, they'll never see,
They'll never pierce the walls around me.
Reach the soul within, the buried plea,
They'll never know, they'll never see,
They'll never reach the heart in me.
Reach the soul within, the buried plea.

It isn't a secret I keep locked away,
It's just that, just that, emptiness holds sway.
Like a bulb blown out, in the ceiling's height,
And darkness reigns, without your guiding light.

No, I know I vowed I wouldn't weep,
But now you're gone, what promise can I keep?
Why shouldn't I spend each passing day,
Curled on the floor, where my lost spirit lay?
Yes, I know, there will be times we'll meet,
Share tea, or pass on some desolate street.
And every time you look into my eyes,
You'll see I'm merely living, in veiled guise.
Just faking it, the charade I play,
They'll never know, they'll never see,
They'll never pierce the walls around me.
Reach the soul within, the buried plea,
They'll never know, they'll never see,
For you alone, were all who truly knew me.
