I stay up late and read a lot at night.
Lately she's begun to wonder why.
She don't know I'm scared that ill start talking in my sleep.
You're a hard secret to keep.

And every time she asks me where I've been.
A cheater's paranoia begins.
Scrambling for an answer, anything she might believe.
You're a hard secret to keep.

Chorus

One slip of the tongue is all it would take.
Just one little note, that I forgot to throw away.
The slightest trace of make-up on a shirt that would come clean.
You're a hard secret to keep.

I never meant for you to touch my heart.
Never meant to take one night this far.
How much longer can I live this double life I lead.
You're a hard secret to keep.

Chorus

Bridge
I wonder if she feels you every time she touches me.
You're a hard secret to keep
