I've got a secret
a *****, little secret,
And secrets stuck inside are bound to shred you to bits
so you've got to find someone to tell, somehow, quick,
You're a puppet writhing on its string
waving your stubby, limp arms for attention,
You dance around yourself
and find pretty ways to phrase what you mean
"i'm not that okay right now" you finally say,
And then you're locked into a bizarre duet
filled with classical music, and dainty, lovely steps
of "why didn't you tell me?" and "i wish i could help,"
But it seems you're not really cut out for this dance
you're too afraid of stepping on toes and causing them pain
you nervously try to laugh off the mistakes,
"You looked like you were walking straight into that lake"
go ahead, try laughing that away,
You blush, you look down
hang holding your breath from your strings
because *someone knows your secret
and even though they won't mean to
they might hint at it enough to give it away,
Because that's what you did, right?
you could never just break down to the beat of your own drum
and tell them the truth
you could never just say
I've got a secret,
I've thought about killing myself before
No, you always wind up giving out a pretty, little
*I don't think I'm okay.
