She knows she can't tell him

So she doesn't let it show

The secrets of her heart

No, he'll never know

She clings to independence

Always been alright on her own

So she will never tell him

She closes her eyes alone

s

Oh, but how she loves him

With every breath she takes

Her heart beats a little faster

With every move he makes

He would run from the emotion

Turn from the love in her eyes

So she keeps her secret in her heart

She thinks he won't realize

s

His casual indifference

Often cuts her like a knife

But oh, how she loves him

For all he's been in her life

She wonders if he takes her for granted

Or if his feelings for her have changed

Wonders if she fits anymore

Into the life he carefully arranged

s

He has a secret of his own

But he's afraid she'll fall apart

So he pretends he doesn't see

The secrets of her heart

He just keeps on drifting

Until they're so far apart

He won't see the hurt

Or the secrets of her heart

s
The truth dawns as the moonlight

Fades from the morning sky

She whispers goodbye and turns away

So he won't see her cry

Her voice echoes in the silence

And still she plays her part

Goodbye, she whispers to him

And holds her secret in her heart
