secret
-‘๑’- The Pierces Lyrics

Got a secret
I have something that I am keeping to myself and not telling anyone.

Can you keep it?
Can you be trusted to keep my secret and not share it with anyone else?

Swear, this one you'll save
Promise me that you will not share this secret with anyone else and that you will keep it safe.

Better lock it in your pocket
Keep the secret to yourself and do not let it slip out, like a key in a safe.

Takin' this one to the grave
I am keeping this secret so close to myself that I am willing to take it to my grave.

If I show you, then I know you
If I decide to confide in you and show you my secret, I trust that you will keep it to yourself.

Won't tell what I said
I expect you to keep my secret confidential and not reveal what I have told you.

'Cause two can keep a secret
If only two people know the secret, then it is less likely to be revealed to others.

If one of them is dead
If one person in the group dies, then the secret can never be revealed to anyone else.

Why do you smile
Why are you smiling like you know something that others do not?

Like you've been told a secret
You look like you have just been let in on a secret that you are not supposed to share with anyone else.

Now you're tellin' lies
You are now lying because you promised to keep the secret to yourself but cannot resist sharing it with others.

'Cause you have sworn to keep it
You made a promise to keep the secret and yet you are now sharing it with others.

But no one keeps a secret
It is common for people to share secrets with others, despite having made promises to keep them confidential.

Why when we do our darkest deeds
Why is it that when we commit the worst actions, we still want to tell others about them?

Do we tell?
Why do we feel the need to share our deepest, darkest secrets with others?

They burn in our brains
Our secrets can be so powerful and damaging that they take up valuable space in our minds and we can not forget them.

Become a living hell
Keeping a secret can become a torture for someone who wants to let it out but is unable to do so.

'Cause everybody tells
Everyone feels the need to share their secrets with others, even though it goes against their promises.

Everyone tells
It is inevitable that people will share their secrets with others, despite having promised to keep them confidential.

Look into my eyes
Pay attention to my eyes, which are trying to convey a message to you.

Now you're getting sleepy
My words are making you feel drowsy, and you may not remember what I have told you.

Are you hypnotized
Your mind is now under my control and susceptible to suggestion.

By secrets that you're keeping?
Are you hypnotized by the secrets that you are keeping or hiding from others?

I know what you're keeping
I have a sense of what secret you are hiding from others or keeping to yourself.

You swore you'd never tell
You made a promise to keep the secret to yourself and not tell anyone else about it.

Do you swear on your life?
Are you willing to swear that you will keep the secret to yourself, even if it means risking your own life?

Yes, two can keep a secret
When only two people know the secret, it is more likely for it to remain confidential.

If one of us is dead
If one of the two people who know the secret dies, then the secret will become safe forever.
