You were a secret kept
Far from my heart
I know i should have wept
But no tears found their way out
You were an avalanche
A sharp decent with fast words, deliverance
(i will not be ashamed, i will move perfectly now)
And i, the minuet
Kept time by sorrow spent
Spoke soft, stood down
(step away, step away, i will hold in my place)
And i have been losing sleep
So i can't be trusted to know
Every time you cry out
You say, "not enough, dear"
Should i change pace?
Move air through empty lungs?
Oh, compose yourself
And know that all you'll be
Is a secret kept upon my lips for now
