Under the covers I can hide away Hide from words that hurt me Faces that scowl in my direction Under the covers I am left be
Under the covers I don't hear Negativity pouring off the tongue I don't need to try to defend Anything I may have said or done
Under the covers I can hide my tears The pillow can cradle my achey head Under the covers I can compose myself While all my insecurities are being fed
Under the covers it's protecting me From the exhaustion that has set in An arguments parting little gift Some arguments you never can win
Under the covers I feel in a safe place Where no one can get at me anymore Under the covers is where I'll stay Until harmful words I'm able to ignore
