With Secrets To Keep
Verse 1
I cannot stay here
Because there's no space to breathe
You keep asking questions I won't answer
Why won't you give it a rest?
You never respect my wishes
My personal life is none of your business
Verse 2
I feel much safer
And for that I have less worries
I have protection that gets me through each day
I try to stay focused
I don't want anything to erupt
But sometimes I'm afraid I draw too much attention
Bridge
I'm taking a risk
There's a chance that I'll get trapped
I'm just living the way that I feel is best
I'll stay a step ahead
That's the choice I've made
I'm more confident than before
Chorus
I will do what I have to do
I will say what I need to say
There's no way for me to be real
With secrets to keep
But I'm still alive
I use them because they shield me
Without them I know that I would be exposed
To prevent myself from being knocked down
I'll be more stable with secrets to keep
