If I invent a weather That could defy all the clouds Would people stop wondering whether it will rain 'Cause time spent speculating, to me Is time just wasted, to me Is time just lost for other games If I could turn back all of our days Would you still know my face Would you still know my face And if I could turn back all of these years Would all of our moments be buried by fear Buried by fear Could I invent a muscle To pump life around my bones To beat instead of this heart shape beast I loath For surely being heartless Would avoid all of those things The poets claim to be the route of all If I could turn back all of our days Would you still know my face Would you still know my face And if I could turn back all of these years Would all of our moments be buried by fear Buried by fear Fear to laugh And fear to cry And fear of knowing what it means to die And fear of hoping And fear of choking And fear of loving Fear of trying To be someone that you're not An being caught out And being left at a loss
And fear of knowing That these feeling deep inside Are always better bottled Than hurt so much to hide 'Cause all you want to do Is shout out that you're scared And take comfort in the fact That maybe someone else is scared too But what if it's just me What if no one else is fearful It's just you And it's just me If I invent a secret Will you keep it to yourself Will you keep it locked up in your mouth And will you never spit it out If I tell you that I love you That you're the one for me Although we haven't spoken for so very many weeks And if I tell you that I hate you That you've made into a shell I am pretty on the outside But inside me there is hell For you can hear the waves And you can hear the sea But in reality It's a beauty you can't see And I'm down on my knees Down on my knees If I invent a secret If I invent a secret If I invent a secret If I invent a secret If I invent a secret Will you keep it to yourself And will you keep it locked up in your mouth And will you never spit it out
