Secret Love

When you open that hidden door
From that moment, and forever,
Nothing is the same

I should have known I
Should have read the signs
Never saw it coming
I was taken by surprise

Tell me, tell me it's all in my mind
Tell me you still love me
Tell me to be blind
Can't erase that image of you

Do you still believe, honestly?
Do you still wanna try?
Don't you know, we'd better
Not let go
Leavin' all behind
Someone's gonna hurt
and someone 's gonna cry
You can hide no more
No more secret love

I saw the fire, within your eyes
Can't deny it, I was blinded by the light
No time to argue
No time to cry
Nothing lasts forever
It's the truth, no use in lying

Tell me, tell me it's all in my mind
Tell me you still love me
Tell me to be blind
Can't erase that image of you

Do you still believe, honestly?
Do you still wanna try?
Don't you know, we'd better
Not let go
Leavin' all behind
Someone's gonna hurt
And someone 's gonna cry
You can hide no more
No more secret love

Do you still believe, honestly?
Do you still wanna try?
Don't you know, we'd better
Not let go
Leavin' all behind
Someone's gonna hurt someone
And someone 's gonna cry
´Cause it's too late for lies
Someone's gonna hurt someone
And someone 's gonna cry




You can hide no more
No more secret love
