Slow Buildings - Secrets Kept, Secrets Lost Lyrics
There’s a girl I loveAnd she cares for meAnd this girl I love, I know all about herExcept for what she wants from meAnd I know I do not need herBut I have to see herIt’s illogicalBut it’s the way things seem to beAnd I knowThere are secrets between usI’d rather die than tellBut I wonder if mine are safe as wellIf she wants too muchSo I’ll give too muchBut I know that I’m no foolAnd she can be so cruel sometimesOr she can be the sweetest girl in the worldThere’s a girl I loveAnd it feels brand newAfter years apart, because we never wantedTo be told just what to doAnd I know I can’t believe herBut I can’t deceive herAnd there’s a million different thingsTo say about the ways I’ve been warnedThere are secrets between usI’d rather die than tellBut I wonder if mine are safe as wellIf she learns too much‘Cause I’ll talk much‘Til she thinks that I’m uncool‘Cause she can be so cruel sometimesOr she can be the sweetest girl in the worldAnd I’m sickened by the circlesI’ve turned to keep her nearShe has no love besidesThe one between her eyesThere’s a girl I loatheAnd in deceit she’s clothedAnd these deeds I do, it’s like they’re just expectedBut she never gives, just takesAnd I find I cannot help herAnd I’ll find no shelterIn her one-way eyesShe cuts me up like I’m birthday cakeStill I knowThere are secrets between usI’d rather die than tellBut I wonder if mine are safe as wellIf she’ll talk too much‘Cause she’ll drink too muchBut I know her heart’s unwellAnd she can be so cruel sometimesOr she can be the sweetest girl in the world
