Secrets

By: us One


They say I can't keep a secret.
I laugh but on the inside know better.
I've got everything stored up deep down,
Things that no one knows and it doesn't matter
Because they wouldn't believe it anyways.
The moments, the memories, all of the things that were or could be
The future, the past, the moments of present that disappear so fast
We go, go, go everyday; never stopping to take a breath, take a break.
We need a time to look back and reminisce
And relive all of the moments to good to miss.
It's the stuff that I haven't told no one,
Someone close, distant, not one single person.
These secrets, I keep them because I feel
That they are just too magical to reveal.
They say I can't keep a secret
But how would they know?
They don't know what's in my heart, in my soul
The magic that appears only within
When people tell me I lose it reminds me that I win.
It's the wonderful past that can't be retold
But I can rethink it, relive it every day until I'm old.
These things that they wouldn't understand
Because they're just to amazing for them to comprehend.
I was there in those special moments when I felt so connected,
So why tell people and make it infected?
They say I can't keep a secret.
That's a funny thing to say
Because most of the secrets I hold are theirs anyway.
She tells me, I can't tell her, he tells me, I can't tell him
I can't help but now feeling totally trapped in.
It's like these secrets turn into masks that I have to wear everyday
And I can't take them off, I can't throw them away.
I'm entangled in this mess and I can't get out
These secrets, they're bringing me down.
Those secrets in my heart that I keep down there
They form into burdens that I now have to bear.
I try to forget, I try to let go
But I'm saying with regret that they just won't go.
So I continue to carry them on my back
The weight as heavy as a ten ton sack.
It's not even my secret, it's theirs
Yet I still can't tell anybody, anytime, anywhere.
I now carry their burdens too you know
And on top of that I have my own.
I want to get rid of them; I try to put them down
But I can't because they're my responsibility now.
They're afraid that I'll tell but they don't have to worry
because they'll remain down deep for all eternity.
If I could give you one piece of advice:
Don't let these secrets take over your life.
They say I can't keep a secret.
Well- they were wrong.
