've been living with a secret, secret
and I don't know if I can keep it, keep it
and I know that if I leave it, leave it
it's just gonna keep getting bigger

it seems that life has got so hectic, hectic
it's getting harder to protect it, tect it
but I know that if I let it, let it
it's just gonna keep getting bigger

if she finds out I'm someone I don't wanna be
if I let myself down I'll blame it on transparency
if I let them down gently maybe they'll admire me
'cause if everyone loves me it might ease my anxiety

it seems my honour is forsaken, saken
it seems my friends have started hating, hating
all my nervous system's shaking, shaking
it's just gonna keep getting bigger

I'm a criminal in hiding, hiding
and you're the father I confide in, fide in
there's a shadow that's been rising, rising
it's just gonna keep getting bigger

if she finds out I'm someone I don't wanna be
if I let myself down I'll blame it on transparency
if I let them down gently maybe they'll admire me
'cause if everyone loves me it might ease my anxiety

if she finds out I'm someone I don't wanna be
if I let myself down I'll blame it on transparency
if I let them down gently maybe they'll admire me
'cause if everyone loves me it might ease my anxiety
