Behind Closed Doors

Through the silence I hear the screams

A picture of a family perfect lying in a broken frame

A lifetime of happiness

A lifetime of lies

If possible I never would have married him

Mother says through the tears

If possible I would go back

Back to bedtime stories

Dinner as a family

Back to tearless nights

I wish I never looked behind the closed doors

I let loose the hidden monsters

I let secrets run free

Now the perfect family has become a shattered mystery

We are broken

Trying to fix the glass, I am only left cut

You see us from the surface

Of who you want us to be

Maybe your perception would change if only you could see

If only you could see us behind closed doors
