Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you got a secret
Well, everybody knows it
If you come and tell me
Well, how am I supposed to hold it?
It's been burning in the sunlight
It's been laughing in the silence
There's a life to it now
Some quick, uncanny life
Every angry angel
Every burning bush
Just turn your back on them
It's all a little much
Well, I'm not talking
'Cause I don't feel like lying
And if you stay silent
We can walk on in silence
[Verse 2]
You can hide it away, hide it away for so long
You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long
If they're calling out your name
Well, you don't have to answer
If they're knocking at your door
Well, you don't have to answer
If they say it's a crime
Well, you don't have to answer
And if you know it's a crime
Well, you don't have to answer
You can hide it away, hide it away for so long
You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long
[Verse 3]
Any half confession
That I ever made
Any false position
Is sprawled out on the page
The cuts have stopped bleeding
It's not right to be afraid
But I can spare a shiver
When they're walking on my grave
[Verse 4]
You can hide it away, hide it away for so long
You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long
If they say it's a lie
Well, you don't have to answer
If you just close your eyes
Well, you don't have to answer
You can hide it away, hide it away for so long
You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long
[Verse 5]
If you got a secret
Well, everybody knows it
If you come and tell me
Oh, well, I'll try to hold it
We can bury it in silence
We can banish it to midnight
It's no use watching all the others
How the others could look so free
It's just money and power
Money and power might set them free
It's just money and power
Money and power might set them free
It's just money and power
Money and power might set them free
It's just money and power
Money and power might set them free
[Verse 6]
You can hide it away, hide it away for so long
You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long
You can hide it away, hide it away for so long
You can hide it away, but only hide it away for so long
