The deepest hole I’ve placed it in
And covered it with all that’s been
Then beat upon this grave each day
In hope to make it go away
I’m terrified that it will grow
And so afraid somehow they’ll know
The secret I have buried deep
The secret that I want to keep
The thing that is the root of all
The reasons why I want to fall
The reason why I’ve never been
Able to give love back again
I know that I should dig it up
And let them know my feelings but,
Instead I’ll keep it locked inside
The truth concealed within my mind
