Secrets we keep

In the silence between what we say and we mean,

There's a world full of whispers that no one has seen.

You laugh like the past never knocked on your door,

But I've read every crack in the smile that you wore.

And we dance around truth like a shadow on fire,

Each step a denial, each gaze a desire.

These are the secrets we keep,

Buried down where the heart can't sleep.

Locked in rooms with no light,

Where the ghosts come alive every night.

You don't have to speak, I already know—

We carry our stories but never let them show.

These are the secrets we keep...

And they're burning beneath.

You trace old regrets in the steam on the glass,

Like a message to someone you left in the past.

But silence is louder when truth is too near,

And I still hear your voice in the things you don't share.

We build our defenses like castles of sand,

But the tide always comes—do you understand?

These are the secrets we keep,

Buried down where the heart can't sleep.

Locked in rooms with no light,

Where the ghosts come alive every night.

You don't have to speak, I already know—

We carry our stories but never let them show.

These are the secrets we keep...

And they're burning beneath.

Maybe love isn't loud, maybe truth wears a mask,

Maybe all that we are is the weight that we pass.

But I'd trade every lie for a moment of real—

Tell me what's hidden, tell me what you feel...

These are the secrets we keep,

Wounds we smile through but never treat.

Pages torn from a book we won't read,

But still bleed from the words that we need.

You don't have to speak, I already know—

We're buried in stories we'll never show.

These are the secrets we keep...

And they're burning beneath.

Yeah, they're burning... beneath.
