Keep Your Secrets
Andrew Bayer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take a drive, sweet night september
I feel alive, I feel no pressure
City lights fade to a glow and
The truth truth is I don′t wanna know and

I feel like there's an ocean, baby
River of tears and emotions lately
Building up, I feel it coming
I don′t need one more drop of your loving

I don't wanna know, I never wanna know
So keep your secrets, oh
I don't wanna know, I never wanna know
So keep your secrets, oh

Keep it to yourself
I don′t need to hear

Never wanna hear a word you say
Say to me and
Your words wash away in the waves and
All I know is we′re in different places

The less I know, the better things will be and
The better way to know I'm free and
City lights fade to a glow and
The true truth is I don′t wanna know and

I don't wanna know, I never wanna know
So keep your secrets, oh
I don′t wanna know, I never wanna know
So keep your secrets, oh

Keep it to yourself
I don't need to hear

Don′t give it all away
'Cause I can't hear your words
Doesn′t really matter
To you it′s just a game
That I don't want to play

And anyone would say
That they feel the same
When you love someone like I loved you
I don′t understand the way we are today

And I will never find you on my mind again
I'm givin′ up on love
I'm giving up on you
I don′t know

Please keep your secrets to yourself
Please keep your secrets to yourself

I don't wanna know, I never wanna know
So keep your secrets, oh
I don't wanna know, I never wanna know
So keep your secrets, oh

Keep it to yourself
I don′t need to hear

Keep your secrets, oh
I don′t wanna know, I never wanna know
So keep your secrets, oh





Keep your secrets, oh
So keep your secrets, oh
