secret

i’ll tell you a secret
that nobody knows
no one has ever heard
it has never been told

i’ll tell you a secret
i’ll tell you what i do
things you’d never expect from me
yet everything’s true

you don’t know anybody
you don’t know your friends
not even your family
don’t know what they keep inside

i wonder if you’re gonna stay here
whether you’re gonna stay with me
i know you don’t want to stay here
i know i need you to stay here

i’ve told you a secret
i don’t know what you’re gonna do about
about the secret
no i don’t know
what you’re gonna do about it
you wanted a secret
do you know what you’re gonna do about it
i’ve told you a secret
do you know
my secret is your secret now

and i don’t know what you expected to find inside
what else but the crazy mixture everybody hides inside
what else but madness frustration
desires never satisfied
loss anger fear pain despair and yet hope

telling a secret
i try to let go of a bit of what won’t let go
get rid of a bit of what won’t leave me alone
where do you think it will go
where do you think it will go
when i tell you a secret

tell me a secret
that nobody knows
no one has ever heard
that has never been told
