You were a secret kept Far from my heart I know I should have wept But no tears found their way out You were an avalanche A sharp decent with fast words, deliverance (I will not be ashamed, I will move perfectly now) and I, the minuet Kept time by sorrow spent Spoke soft, stood down (Step away, step away, I will hold in my place) and I have been losing sleep So I can't be trusted to know Every time you cry out You say, "not enough, dear" Should I change pace? Move air through empty lungs? Oh, compose yourself And know that all you'll be Is a secret kept upon my lips for now
