Secret

I've been told, told, told to tell the truth
But it would hurt, hurt, hurt you if I do
And a lie, lie, lie would keep it sweet
But it would steal, steal, steal me of my sleep

If I tell you, then I'll be the bad guy
I can see you slamming that door
If I shed a little light on my dark side
No way you'd love me anymore

I could swear it on my bones
She didn't mean nothing to me at all
And this much I know
And that much you'll never believe
The weight of a stone I will carry
The ghost of a girl I will bury
If I want to keep you
I'll have to keep my secret too

Oh, a dark, dark, dark and dirty road
Pulled me down, down, down to wild unknown
That could burn, burn, burn any man
Make him shake, shake, shake the devil's hand

If I tell you, then I'll be the bad guy
I can see you slamming that door
If I shed a little light on my dark side
No way you'd love me anymore

I could swear it on my bones
She didn't mean nothing to me at all
And this much I know
And that much you'll never believe
The weight of a stone I will carry
The ghost of a girl I will bury
If I want to keep you
I'll have to keep my secret
Too

Oh, my secret
I'll have to keep my secret too
Oh, my secret
I'll have to keep my secret too

I can swear it on my bones
That she didn't mean nothing to me at all
And this much I know
And that much you'll never believe
The weight of a stone I will carry (I will carry you)
The ghost of a girl I will bury (I will bury)
If I want to keep you
I'll have to keep my secret
