It's tearing me apart
To keep this in my heart
I cannot let you know
I've kept it here, not to show
But, alas I have kept it too long
It must find a new place to belong
I cannot keep it here
It must come out, into the air
Just as it takes its first breath
I feel my pain become less and less
I cannot believe it, but as I speak
Joy springs up where there used to be grief
No more regrets, I can start anew
Now, that you know my secret, too
I know that you'll keep it, forever more
And if you don't, I know it's for my benefit, not yours.
