One little secret
one small lie
one tiny whisper
all pass us by
everything is said
and everything is heard
everything is known
nothing comes assured
you do something once
you'll do it again
you do something twice
it might be called a sin
and when it happens again
you can't say it's their fault
you can't say they're a bad person
when they were only following their heart
keep that to yourself
which you don't want everyone to know
keep it a secret
don't put at risk it for show
tell a lie now and then
and you're only going to hurt
those around you and yourself
start with honesty first
if you choose to whisper
whisper in an ear
whisper something soft and sweet
you only want a loved one to hear
making mistakes
and taking the risks
learning with each step
everyone makes it through this
do the things
your heart desires
light a match
and start new fires
it's only wrong
if it doesn't make you happy
even though i hurt others
it's how you wanted things to be
after its all said and done
you can't go back
you can't heal the ones you've hurt
you can't wish it all away
it's not your fault when you put your heart first
