Darrin McMiller Jr. - Art of Keeping Secrets

2014-11-10 13

Ask yourself,
How many lies we shared together?
How many secrets we kept apart?
Keeping broken hearts intact

We don't love each other
We just loved our representatives
Resenting the true you and me

I swear and then you swear
And I swear
When you know too much
It's no conversation with you
Like a circle you don't even have a point

Un-merrily going around the same issues
We don't care to address,
We simply dress them up, only to suppress them
Only to regret the next words out our mouths

So we hush,
But our silence won't protect us
And not happy is a silent home

Because we know the dreams we shared,
And the reality between us
The art of keeping secrets
