A Hard Secret To Keep

i stay up late and read a lot at night.

lately she's begun to wonder why.

she don't know i'm scared that i'll start

talking in my sleep.

you're a hard secret to keep.

and every time she asks me where i've been

a cheaters paranoia begins.

scrambling for an answer anything she might believe.

you're a hard secret to keep.

one slip of the tongue's all it would take.

just one little note that i forgot to throw away.

the slightest trace of make-up on a shirt that won't come clean.

you're a hard secret to keep.

i never meant for you to touch my heart.

i never meant to take one night this far.

how much longer can i live this double life i lead?

you're a hard secret to keep.

one slip of the tongue's all it would take.

just one little note that i forgot to throw away.

the slightest trace of make-up on a shirt that won't come clean.

you're a hard secret to keep.

i wonder if she feels you every time she touches me.

you're a hard secret to keep.
