dirty little secrets

it seems i've loved you for so long

it seems like all of my life

just like a child who doesn't belong

you'd run

til even the sun became your shadow

and i know you better than i know myself

you know

so i pretend you got somewhere else to go

sometimes i believed what you had to say

then i watched you bleed all the truth away

somewhere in my heart there's a place i know

where all our dirty little secrets go

nobody's perfect

certainly not us

we've all got secrets to keep

i would have kept yours safe in my heart

you would have always known where to find me

and i hate you in your innocence you know

but i hate myself even more for loving you so

sometimes i believed what you had to say

then i watched you bleed all the truth away

somewhere in my heart there's a place i know

where all our dirty little secrets go

sometimes it hurts so bad that you cry

then there's the times you wish you had died

sometimes the truth is worse than the lie

sometimes

sometimes it's best to lock it away

in a place that is secret and safe

sometimes you just pretend you don't know

sometimes it's best to let go

sometimes i believed what you had to say

then i watched you bleed all the truth away

somewhere in my heart there's a place i know

where all our dirty little secrets go
