Can You Really Be Faithful

I've learned little secrets bout myself that I collect like fireflies 
I put em in a drawer in the back of my mind hoping by the time I'm asked bout one it would've already died. 
I feed the beast that craves flesh and intimacy as side. 
Knowing my one true love heart is on the line. 
I keep my infidelities secret and mask lies with pride.
And when regret and shame starts bubbling up inside. 
I wrestle my emotions with a simple grin and smile. 
And if she ask me if I ever cheated I'll do what any faithful man would do deny deny deny.
