I know you cry when I'm not there

Locking yourself in your room

And letting the tears flow

Feeling guilty for things you don't need to

I hear your sobs when I come home

But as soon as I knock on the door

You silence yourself and smile

Eyes still puffy and red

I try to hold you in my arms

But you pull away

Looking at me with hatred

And I know you hate me for being gone

But I'm here now, sweetheart

Let me hold you and wipe away your tears

I'm here now, darling

And I won't leave you again
