If you promise to keep a secret

And the secret's never kept

What did you really promise?

She's already gone and wept.

If you tell me that you love me

But it was all a lie

Am I wrong for acting ugly?

When you just made me cry?

I had this secret over you

I promised not to tell

But each and every night

My heart begins to swell

I can't help how I feel

I can help that you don't

I wish that I could tell you

I don't know why I don't

Maybe if I didn't run

You could maybe see

Just how much I care for you

And then you'd come to me

Or maybe I'll sit back and wait

Because I'm not that clever

Wrapped inside my loneliness

And sit in fear forever
