Secrets

Hold my hand, together, we live alone

There’s only one writer to our unrevealed poem

Poetry, words and thoughts, you will never know

You’ll never ask, and I’ll never tell

and we’ll never be alone


I won’t write a letter

But I won’t forget her

I know that you met her

But I wouldn’t let her tell


I won’t write a letter

But I won’t forget her

I know that you met her

But I wouldn’t let her tell


Love me to my grave

Bury my secrets. Erase her name

From history like we never met

What you never learn

you don’t have to forget


I can’t let it eat me

As we dance so sweetly

Your love forever given

Could I be forgiven


I thought the grass looked greener

But now that I have seen her

I understand better

Our vows at the altar


Love me to my grave

Bury my secrets. Erase her name

From history like we never met

What you never learn

you don’t have to forget


Hold my hand, my true love

dance with me

Hold my hand, my true love

dance with me

Hold my hand, my true love

dance with me

Hold my hand, my true love

dance with me


Love me to my grave

Bury my secrets. Erase her name

From history like we never met

What you never learn

you don’t have to forget


Love me to my grave

Bury my secrets. Erase her name

From history like we never met

What you never learn

you don’t have to forget


Hold my hand, my true love

dance with me

Hold my hand, my true love

dance with me
