Sober and older

I’m throwing carpets over

All of the dirt

How could you know what I’m worth

My skin on your shoulder

I feel your warm embrace

But all your love is a waste

If I’m not leaving a trace

If I dare to share with you what I have never told

Would you keep me close to you

or would it turn you cold

Whenever you hold me

I’m feeling so lonely

How can you love me

If you don’t know me

My secrets keep you away - ay

My secrets keep you away - ay

(My secrets)

Show me your colors

What is beneath these covers

And all of the hurt

What made you think it’s a curse

You hold on a little longer

Wait until your stronger

But as you find your place

Your courage flees without a trace

If you ever share with me what you have never told

Promise I’ll be close enough to guide you through it all

Whenever I hold you

I’ll tell you I love you

I know you’re going through

I see myself in you

Whenever you hold me

I’m feeling so lonely

How can you love meIf you don’t know me

My secrets keep you away - ay

My secrets keep you away - ay

My secrets keep you away - ay

My secrets keep you away - ay

(My secrets)
