My Piano

There's something I've never told you
Something I've kept inside
I don't know if I can say it
Or can form it in my mind
You say that I'm just silly
That I'm throwing my life away
But let me tell you the reasons why
I just pound on these keys all day

My piano knows me, and my piano cares
I don't want to let anyone in
Because I'm scared
I'm scared of what they can do
I don't want my heart broken again
And I don't think I could stand
Another second in this place
There's only one thing
That can keep me sane
My piano

Whenever I had no one to talk to
I'd just sit on the bench
Sometimes I would play
It helped me vent
Other times I would talk
Just to let someone know
I don't think anyone would care
If I told them straight that
Only my piano knows what I've
Got going through my mind

You say that it's okay
To let people know
All about my pains
That it will help me grow
But I don't think I could bear it
They'd never see me the same
It's my piano that knows
About all my pains

I may not make any sense
I may just be insane
But I think you'd understand
If you'd just listen
To the message in this song

My piano, oh my piano
Only my piano knows what I've
Got going through my mind
My piano, oh my piano
My
Piano

This is about someone I once knew
Someone I once cared about
I should probably thank him
He made me what I am today
But did he really have to do it
In the most awful way?

You may not understand right away
I don't think you ever will
Because it's my piano that knows
All my secret wills
My piano knows it, and my piano's seen
Which is more than you can say for you
I'm not saying I don't love you,
And that I don't care
I'm just trying to tell you
Exactly how much you'll never know

He took me away
From all my childhood
He took me in the most dreadful way
He took away my dreams,
And turned them into nightmares
He took my mom, and he took my sister
He took me and gave me to others
Despite all of this, I still thank him
Without him, I would never know true hate

Not even I
No, not even I
Know what's going through my mind
Not even I
No, not even I
Know what's trapped inside my mind

My piano
