secrets


I've got a little secret
I don't know if I should tell
you might not understand
but I don't feel well
it isn't what you think
I'm not sick, it's true
but what I'm saying
just might make sense to you
I feel drowned in my emotions
locked behind my fear
I don't know if you can help me
but I don't like it here
someone help me out
out of this dark place
but don't get too attached
I really need my space
I feel like letting go
like taking off this mask
I can push them all away
the echoes of my past
I'll let myself be free
I'll try to run away
a better place I'll be in
and I hope that I can stay
