Rough hands on your shoulders
Smile on your lips
Secrets, secrets everywhere
Tell me where you went

I met you only once
By chance or maybe fate
Secrets swirling in the air
Tell me, do repent

Pour you heart into words
Put pencil to the page
Secrets, I can’t take anymore
I know that’s what you meant

Maybe this is just a game to you
See how long I can possibly go
Secrets dancing in your eyes
That one damned blessed event

I pray to God he hears you
But my words fall on deaf ears
He’s keeping your secret from my life
But to what extent?

You’ve seen me
You’ve known me
How long will this go on?
An easy solution to my overactive mind?
Such a life I could’ve never dreamt
