i stay up late and read a lot at night. lately she's begun to wonder why. she don't know i'm scared that i'll start talking in my sleep. you're a hard secret to keep. and every time she asks me where i've been a cheaters paranoia begins. scrambling for an answer anything she might believe. you're a hard secret to keep. one slip of the tongue's all it would take. just one little note that i forgot to throw away. the slightest trace of make-up on a shirt that won't come clean. you're a hard secret to keep. i never meant for you to touch my heart. i never meant to take one night this far. how much longer can i live this double life i lead? you're a hard secret to keep. one slip of the tongue's all it would take. just one little note that i forgot to throw away. the slightest trace of make-up on a shirt that won't come clean. you're a hard secret to keep. i wonder if she feels you every time she touches me. you're a hard secret to keep.
