Secrets I Can't Share

Verse 1
I lie through every word I say
A life you’ll never touch or stay
Hidden pieces I can’t reveal
A tangled mess I can’t unseal

Pre-Chorus
I feel you close, I feel the spark
But shadows scream inside the dark

Chorus
I want you, I need you, but I can’t be real
These secrets I keep, they won’t let me feel
I’m drawn to you, every word, every line
But my life’s a storm you can’t cross this time
I can’t stay, I can’t show, I can’t break free
The truth of me will destroy what you see

Verse 2
Your voice, your charm, it pulls me in
But guilt and fear are under my skin
I crave your touch, your laugh, your care
But I can’t risk you finding me there

Pre-Chorus
Every heartbeat says I’m lost
But the cost of truth is too high a cost

Chorus
I want you, I need you, but I can’t be real
These secrets I keep, they won’t let me feel
I’m drawn to you, every word, every line
But my life’s a storm you can’t cross this time
I can’t stay, I can’t show, I can’t break free
The truth of me will destroy what you see

Bridge
If I spoke it all, would you still care?
Or vanish like smoke into the air?
I love the dream of what we could be
But I can’t give you the real me

Final Chorus
I want you, I need you, but I can’t be real
These secrets I keep, they won’t let me feel
I’m pulled to you, every glance, every word
But my life’s a storm too dark to be heard
I can’t stay, I can’t show, I can’t break free
The truth of me will destroy what you see

Outro
I’ll watch from afar, I’ll keep my distance
A heart split in two, trapped by resistance
