Allison Crowe - Secrets (That Aren't My Own) lyrics

Secrets Words & Music by Allison Crowe Verse 1 You know I hold these in And I take them for myself I'm covered in guilt But it's not my own There isn't any reason For me to feel like I'm dying I'm done with being afraid I'm done with lying Chorus: And I am not an angel I'm more like Mona Lisa There's something hiding in me There's always something behind my smile And I know that I'm not perfect And maybe I am the court jester I'm the life of the party And I know too much about the court... I have these secrets that aren't my own Verse 2 So take this how you want to I'm not here to judge you I just want to be in love with you I just want to forget myself I want to just be ignorant Please take this pain away from me Down to the river and out to the sea Down to the river and out to the sea Chorus: And I am not an angel I'm more like Mona Lisa There's something hiding in me There's always something behind my smile And I know that I'm not perfect Yeah, I am the court jester I'm the life of the party And I know too much about the court... I have these secrets that aren't my own Verse 3 It's too far to reach But I'm too scared to let go It's too close to ignore But I feel so far away now I'm crawling in the ceiling I'm scratching through the walls I'm trying to scream But my own hand is on my throat Chorus: And I am not an angel I'm more like Mona Lisa There's something hiding in me There's always something behind my smile And I want to be like Venus To just bare it all and face the world But I'm tangled in these blankets I'm caught in between the lines I have these secrets that aren't my own
