Secrets

I'm the Secret Keeper
How do you do?
No need to tell me your name
Just whisper in my ear
I'll keep your secret
For no one but me to hear
And when one day you want
It back
Just say the word
Secrets are hard to keep
For ages
Untold
I'm the Secret Keeper
Lies are what I do
To feed a person hope
That I know is not true
Build them up
For you to break them down
But I won't reveal it
For the
World
That I carry all this hurt
That does not belong to me
I wish I could tell you
This is the truth
I wish I could listen
Without wanting to cry for you
But I know the deal
Of being the keeper of secrets
Because every time I start
To come clean
The voices all scream
HUSH! It's a
S
E
C
R
E
T
For no one but me to tell!
So I shall carry a burden
Wished by no one
But given by all
Because they can't take the
Pressure at all
And once they've told someone
They just don't care
They might never take it away
To give it to
The one who should
Rightfully own it
So next time someone tries
To tell you a secret
Make sure to whisper
Before they do
Hush, it's a
s
e
c
r
e
t
But you can give it
To someone.
And if someone tells you
The same thing
Well here I am
I am the Secret Keeper
It's what I do
I suffer away
As I lie to you
