Kept It All To Myself

Kept it all to myself

Kept it all to myself

Kept it all to myself

There were days

When the luminescence of the skies

Or the deep brown grasses

Struck me so hard

In the early evening

I can hardly take it

That light feeling

I rode up past St. Clair

Same old city

But it could have been anywhere

And the scent of the air so exotic

Every thought like I never have thought it

And I felt that confidence in me

Like a child in a strange new body

I kept it all to myself

I kept it all to myself

I kept it all to myself

Sometimes I loved you unadulterated, purely

Untouched by doubt or by my memory

Sometimes I loved you

In a shadowed way

Windscreen clearing but still

Streaked with grey

Sometimes we held hands

Like we were children

And I'd never known anything different

Like I'd never known anything different

Like I'd never known

I tried to leave you, I left only myself

Before I knew it, I was down in the well

Sometimes I felt like I was floating

High by the ceiling as we were just talking

And kind faces would change on me

Eyes and nose and mouth

Unfamiliar assembly

I kept it all to myself

I kept it all to myself

I kept it all to myself

I got so tired of all of the subtext

The subtleties and the minute regrets

You were smiling like you thought

I couldn't see you

Like you're afraid of what I might reveal in you

Is it better if I look away?

If all I know I never do say?

My love is the heaviest thing

I understand if you don't want to wear my ring

My love is the heaviest thing

So I kept it all to myself

You would think I had so much wealth

If I kept it all to myself

If I kept it all

To myself

To myself

I kept it all to myself

Kept it all to myself

Kept it all to myself

Left it all to myself

I kept it all to myself

I kept it all to myself

I kept it all to myself
