secret

I have a secret
maybe I'll tell you
but you've got to promise
to keep it to yourself
'cause this is a secret
that's meant only for you
it doesn't belong
to anybody else

all my life
I've been alone
no place for a heart
to call a home
an invisible future
severely unknown
was all I had
in front of me

I had a dream
but I quit believing
it was like I quit breathing
till you came along
now, I have my pride
and I like to be right
I tried with all my might
but I admit I was wrong

I never thought
I could learn how to love
I thought it was something
I was not a part of
and if it ever found me
it could never be enough
to fill my bruised
and barren heart
