Open Secrets

It went right by me

At the time it went over my head

I was looking out the window

I should have looked

At your face instead

It went right by me

Just another wall

There should have been a moment

When we let our barriers fall

I never meant what you're thinking

That's not what I meant at all

Well I guess we all have these feelings

We can't leave unreconciled

Some of them burned on our ceilings

Some of them learned as a child

The things that we're concealing

Will never let us grow

Time will do its healing, you've got to let it go

Closed for my protection

Opened to your scorn

Between these two directions

My heart is sometimes torn

I lie awake with my secrets

Spinning around my head

Something that somehow escaped me

Something you shouldn't have said

I was looking out the window

I should have looked at your face instead

Well I guess we all have these feelings

We can't leave unreconciled

Some of them burned on our ceilings

Some of them learned as a child

The things that we're concealing

Will never let us grow

Time will do its healing, you've got to let it go

Let it go

I find no absolution

In my rational point of view

Maybe somethings are instinctive

But there's one thing you could do

You could try to understand me

I could try to understand you

You could try to understand me

I could try to understand you

Well I guess we all have these feelings

We can't leave unreconciled

Some of them burned on our ceilings

Some of them learned as a child

The things that we're concealing

Will never let us grow

Time will do its healing, you've got to let it go

Let it go

Let it go

Let it go
