She'll Never Tell

She never knew she was a beauty

She must have made a lot of grown men cry

In her eyes she's always playing out some movie

She just told a dying love goodbye

She was innocent then

Blind to any help

No one knows what she did

And she'll never tell

I wonder if she liked where she came from

Cause she never nailed her memories to the wall

Only flattened cardboard boxes in the attic

And the useless handmedowns in the closet in the hall

And she lives in a home

In three years she'll probably sell

And once she remembers

She'll never tell

I dreamed I saw her whispering to me

So discreetly

Maybe some secret song for me to know

That's best unspoken

She barely prays above a whisper

And when she cries she doesn't make a sound

She offers tithe

But never takes communion

So scared to death of Jesus finding out

When she's nervous she checks in some out of town motel

What she screams in her pillow

She'll never tell

What she screams in her pillow

She'll never tell
