Secret's Safe - Silverstein

I dug myself out of my grave

A box of pine and dirt remain

And every insecurity I’ve left there with it

I laughed at every word you said

With sparkling eyes, a handsome head

And confidence we’ll perfect

The things you see are nothing like me

I’ll leave it all behind and justify it just between you and me

I buried all the misery, but it’s clawing back now

It’s every way you move and everything you do

You’ll never make me forget the things I’ve seen

I know my secret’s safe with me

I took the stairs, I climbed so high

On every floor I told a lie

And at the top I tried to fly

But stayed here with you

The door keeps opening

It brings a gust of cold and crawling skin

I’m comfortable but I just sinned silently

And that’s just like me

I’ll leave it all behind and justify it just between you and me

I buried all the misery, but it’s clawing back now

It’s every way you move and everything you do

You’ll never make me forget the things I’ve seen

I know my secret’s safe with me

Fill me, spill me

Leave this mess behind

You may not have a lot to give

But I’ll still take it

Make me, hate me

Bottle me up inside

It’s better there than where I’ve been

A perfect heart I never was

I lied to everyone I loved

It made them love me even more

And made me hate myself

I’ll leave it all behind and justify it just between you and me

I buried all the misery, but it’s clawing back now

It’s every way you move and everything you do

You’ll never make me forget the things I’ve seen

I know my secret’s safe with me
