I don't know why

I see the truth in every line

Call me naive

But I would rather believe.

And when I look into your eyes

I've seen an awful lot of lies

You hide behind

You know I know what it means

To be fraying at the seams

Out of my mind.

If I tell you a secret

Will you promise to keep it

Keep it close to your heart

And never tell a soul?

Because I have a secret

And it's hell trying to keep it

It tears right through my heart

And it swallows me whole.

I don't know why

I feel my faith is on the line

How things appear

Seem to be ever unclear.

When I look into your eyes

I've seen an awful lot of lies

You hide behind

You know I know what it means

To be fraying at the seams

Out of my mind.

If I tell you a secret

Will you promise to keep it

Keep it close to your heart

And never tell a soul?

Because I have a secret

And it's hell trying to keep it

It tears right through my heart

And it swallows me whole.

If I tell you a secret

Will you promise to keep it

Keep it close to your heart

And never tell a soul?

Because I have a secret

And it's hell trying to keep it

It tears right through my heart

And it swallows me whole.
