Secret
Heart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in love with a girl
That I used to know
It's tearing me up inside
I miss her
Everyday of my life
I'll miss her
'Til the day I die
I've got secrets
I keep to myself
I won't tell anybody
No no
But I just want you to myself
I won't tell anybody
No no
Let me spell it out
To make it clear
I'm dying without you here
I said
I'll be just fine
But I'm not
I'm not okay
Still missing you everyday
I still love the girl
I used to know
It's eating me alive
I want her
Everyday of my life
I'll want her
'Til the day I die
She's the secret I keep to myself
I won't tell anybody
No no
And I just want her to myself
I won't tell anybody
No no
Let me spell it out to make it clear
I'm dying without you here
I said
I'll be just fine
But I'm not
I'm not okay
Still missing you everyday
Let me spell it out
So you can hear
I'm dying without you dear
I said
I'll be just fine
But I'm not
I'm not okay
Still missing you in every way
I sit and wait for you
To come home
But you're never coming back
So I just sit here alone
By my phone
Waiting for you to tell me
Tell me that you love me
And that you'll never leave
I will say the exact same thing
I will never leave
Let me spell it out
To make it clear
I'm dying without you here
I said
I'll be just fine
But I'm not
I'm not okay
Still missing you everyday
Let me spell it out
So you can hear
I'm dying without you dear
I said
I'll be just fine
But I'm not




I'm not okay
Still missing you in every way

"Secret"

We lead two different lives
Just like two lines that never cross
And here we are together
Standing closer than we are
But we're still standing here untouched
Too scared to make a move
We want so much to touch
And we can't wait forever
We know it's dangerous
For us to be together

How do we ever keep this secret
How do we keep it in the dark
And if we dare to taste our weakness
How could we tear ourselves apart
Why do we keep this love together
Didn't we know right from the start
That we would have to keep this secret
Or forever stay apart

I watch you coming to me
Walking in the pouring rain
I can't help looking at you
Wishing I could stay away
So many times I've tried in vain
To close my eyes and pray it goes away
But I can't stop myself from feeling
To let you go would be too much
For me to take

How do we ever keep this secret
How do we deep it in the dark
And if we dare to taste our weakness
How could we tear ourselves apart
Why do we keep this love together
Didn't we know right from the start
That we would have to keep this secret
Or forever stay apart

I can't help thinking
When I look into your eyes
How much I need you
It's so hard to hide

How do we ever keep this secret
How do we keep it in the dark
And if we dare to taste our weakness
How could we tear ourselves apart
Why do we keep this love together
Didn't we know right from the start
That we would have to keep this secret
Or be doomed to stay apart

We lead two different lives
Just like two lines that never cross
And here we are together
Standing closer than we are
But we're still standing here untouched
Too scared to make a move
We want so much to touch
And we can't wait forever
We know it's dangerous
For us to be together

How do we ever keep this secret
How do we keep it in the dark
And if we dare to taste our weakness
How could we tear ourselves apart
Why do we keep this love together
Didn't we know right from the start
That we would have to keep this secret
Or forever stay apart

I watch you coming to me
Walking in the pouring rain
I can't help looking at you
Wishing I could stay away
So many times I've tried in vain
To close my eyes and pray it goes away
But I can't stop myself from feeling
To let you go would be too much
For me to take

How do we ever keep this secret
How do we deep it in the dark
And if we dare to taste our weakness
How could we tear ourselves apart
Why do we keep this love together
Didn't we know right from the start
That we would have to keep this secret
Or forever stay apart

I can't help thinking
When I look into your eyes
How much I need you
It's so hard to hide

How do we ever keep this secret
How do we keep it in the dark
And if we dare to taste our weakness
How could we tear ourselves apart
Why do we keep this love together
Didn't we know right from the start
That we would have to keep this secret
Or forever stay apart

An unbelievably beautiful yet obscure song from Heart, but super-awesome. I guess you can say this song is a well-kept secret, pun intended.
