Secrets - Alice Smith

The morning after

The only laughter

Echoes from the night before

I'm feeling broken

Words already spoken

Lay crumpled

And hurt on the floor

Except for those

That I should not have said

Guarded secrets

Locked inside my head

Oh what did I tell

Precious gems entrusted to me

Those were struggling to be free

Uncontrolled

From my mouth they fell

Oh secrets some mine

Some his some hers secrets

The truth's so easy

'Cause i'm so lazy

It comes so naturally

Oops I told him

Just where you've been

Perhaps

I should not have told him

Please in future don't burden me

With your lies and your secrecy

I deal with my own

Because from my mouth they fell

I have trouble

Keeping things on the DL

When they're not seeds

That I've sown

Oh secrets some mine

Some his some hers secrets

Oh secrets some mine

Some his some hers

Thought I'd keep it

Underneath my hat

But temptation won me over

Just like that

Thank you not

For the extra guilt I got

When you said what you said

I'm just a child

Wild and free

I need the time

To take care of me

Take the time to care

For number one so

Please in future don't burden me

With your lies and your secrecy

I deal with my own

Because from my mouth they fell

I have trouble

Keeping things on the DL

When they're the seeds

That I've sown

Oh secrets some mine

Some his some hers secrets

Oh secrets some mine

Some his some hers
