We all have secrets and keep them to protect others But being the keeper of other people's secrets Can be dangerous for them and you Everyone has skeletons hidden in their lives And it takes one slip of the tongue to bring their word crashing down .

I live my life in disguise hoping you can't see the truth in my eyes 

The secrets I have must be buried deep
But they return as nightmares when I sleep 

I know these secrets must not be told
But on my life they have a stranglehold 

To tell these secrets is not meant to be 
As they can hurt others not just me

And if I did talk it would be no surprise 
That you would say that I'm telling lies 

I will say nothing and your secrets I will keep 
They will die with me and be buried deep.
