Secrets

We’ve been keeping secrets, buried deep within
And when those secrets surface, that’s when heartaches can begin
Arguing ‘till daybreak, ‘till the rising of the sun
Saying ‘You did this” and ‘You did that,’ and pretty soon it’s done
With two backs turned against each other, arms crossed against their chest
With a stubbornness that’s putting a relationship to rest (x2)

It’s not like we’ve been sneaking ‘round the back door late at night
Those aren’t the kinds of secrets we’re afraid will come to light
It’s kinds that we had thought were hidden safely in disguise
The one’s that surface suddenly and take us by surprise
But we wear suits of iron armor, that will not penetrate
And still refuse to open up our hearts ‘till it’s too late (x2)

We want to hold to what we have
And so we live in fear
That something from the past
Might break the deal that we have here
But if the past is really gone
The future starts today
And the secrets we’ve been keeping
Weren’t worth keeping anyway

Sherry’s got her secrets, I’ve got mine as well
I’d like to take those secrets now and shove ‘em down a well
To bury them forever, to cover them with sand
To open up our hearts again and take each other’s hands
To stand naked before each other, with nothing left to hide
And see how long two people could in nakedness abide (x2)

With the secrets on the table, and a pact that we have swore
To never, ever bring to mind those secrets any more
To walk this road together, as lovers and as friends
And never let some secrets come to threaten us again
To just stand naked before each other, with nothing left to hide
And see how long two people can in nakedness abide (x2)
