So sorry, I revised the lyric, I thought I had already posted it here.

I wanted to give some positive spin at the end.


I don’t know the reason I sleep with my shirt on
I don’t remember why I don’t have a nightgown
I can’t sleep in my bare skin, exposed and naked
Blankets won’t help and I can’t escape it

That feeling of being dirty for no reason
I need protection from something unseen
I don’t know what happened and I’m glad that I don’t
But everything is not as it seems

chorus
I don’t want to know, what I don’t know
What good would it do me now?
My life would not change and thoughts rearranged
Won’t be a guiding light at the end of a chain of events
I don’t wanna know and that’s my defense.

Something long ago was broken inside and hidden
I’m not ashamed why should I be
Memories get erased so I can still be free
Cus nothing that was………….. was about me

Bridge
But my kids are gonna know when love is real
My love for them will change generations


They’re gonna know, what I didn’t know
The touch of a hand that is always safe
Their lives are now changed and thoughts rearranged
Now’s there’s light at the end of that chain of events
Oh yeah they’re gonna know……………. And that’s their defense.


I don’t want to know, what I don’t know
What good would it do me now?
My life would not change and thoughts rearranged
Won’t be a guiding light at the end of a chain of events
I don’t wanna know .............................and that’s my defense.

Thanks. now you know why my dad called me his 4th daughter
I'm an artist, I see the emotion in the words not the intent. Glad you liked it and not liked 
Those were done when you posted them on the other site, so I only had those lyrics
Do you mind if I made one of mine public? they are private right now.

Go Right ahead!!! And thanks for the compliment

Dang that sounds like Pat Benatar! Great job.

I could read all sorts into the lyrics. It sounds personal but I could be completely wrong. Not a bad idea to keep listeners guessing I reckon. The makings of a classic song here. I think the vocal on the chorus stretches a bit too high - that's my only crit, but it's work in progress. A male voice might work better, but that might take it away from what you're trying to say. I'm liking this so far.
