secrets

i've been carrying secrets

closer than my skin

and all the secrets

won't let you in

she said this, he said that

please don't tell anyone

you didn't hear this from me

please don't tell anyone

one time I was at a friend's house

seventh grade

secrets poured out of that house

like rain

never told

a single soul

because what would I say?

never wanted your secrets but I keep them anyway

i've been carrying secrets

closer than my skin

and all the secrets

won't let you in

i don't want to know that

but i won't tell anyone

don't you hear my silent plea

no more secrets, i'm done

do you know how I feel about

everything?

I find myself disagreeing about

... everything

my secret is my thoughts

trapped in a box

because how do I argue?

never wanted my secrets but I can't stop you

i've been carrying secrets

closer than my skin

and all the secrets

won't let you in

my secrets, your secrets

his secret, hers

sure, i can keep mine

but i don't want yours

take them away, 

i don't want them because they

mean lies and lying and

i'm tired of lying awake

i've been carrying secrets

closer than my skin

all those secrets

... i'll still keep them in
