Shreds

I pretend I've got myself together
Like I'm not just about to lose my mind
When I act like nothing's wrong it must be working
'Cause everybody seems to think I'm fine

CHORUS:
And last night I didn't scream your name out loud
I didn't lie awake and stare at your side of the bed
And yesterday no one saw me crying
These are the only shreds of dignity I have left

Overall, I must be getting better
At hiding all the things I feel inside
No one seems to know how much I'm hurting
And no one sees the shape I'm in at night

BRIDGE:
They don't see me looking through your pictures
They don't see me waiting by the phone
They don't see me watching out the window
And they don't know I can't believe you're gone

(Chorus)
