This pillow, my darlin' Holds oceans of tears And words cold as winter From all these years It cradles our love words And chills of the night The warmth of together And pain of your spite A pillow ain't meant to be tossed to the ground It keeps all our secrets that never make sound So handle with care what you think is just fluff 'Cause pillows remember when words ain't enough The bite marks of jealousy Shame for those guests Who crept out by mornin' Leavin' no trace The weight of confessions When no one can hear The third in our triangle That no one holds dear A pillow ain't meant to be tossed to the ground It keeps all our secrets that never make sound So handle with care what you think is just fluff 'Cause pillows remember when words ain't enough You might have escaped it for today But with respect, pick it up, I pray For every tear it caught when I cried For every scream it muffled when I tried And if you were dyin' It's your confessor true Holdin' your darkest thoughts Away from view It won't tell husband Our secret to keep The witness to moments That dance in my sleep A pillow ain't meant to be tossed to the ground It keeps all our secrets that never make sound So handle with care what you think is just fluff 'Cause pillows remember... And darlin', they never forget When words ain't enough
