you spilled your shame into my trust
you feel relieved i feel exhaust and
now i can't tell a soul
years gone by i've been tongue tied
i've leant my ears to quell your fears
the truth is known to no one
chorus:
we know less and less and time will increase it and
how do i keep all these secrets you didn't ask
if i would like to have the burden of your torrid past
you didn't care how it would affect me..
i was raised in a home where mums the word
where guilt confessions changed my world
the paradigm as shifted
now it makes me think the truth is few and far between
what's real is seen in subtle knowing glances
