Dirty Little Secret
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I had the chance love
I would not hesitate
To tell you all things I never said before
Don't tell me its too late
'Cause I've relied on my illusion
to keep me warm at night
and I've denied in my capacity to love
but I am willing to give up this fight
Been up all night drinking to drown my sorrows down
But nothing seems to help me since you've gone away
I'm so tired of this town where every tongue is wagging
When every back is turned
Theyre telling secrets that should never be revealed
Theres nothing to be gained from this but disaster
Heres a good one
Did you hear about my friend
Hes embarrassed to be seen now
'Cause we all know his sins
If I had the chance love
I would not hesitate
To tell you all things I never said before
Don't tell me its too late
'Cause I've relied on my illusion
to keep me warm at night
and I've denied in my capacity to love
But I am willing to give up this fight
Oh I am willing to give up this fight
