Secret

"Deep in my heart I'm concealing,
Things that I'm longing to say.
Scared to confess what I'm feeling,
Frightened you'll slip away."

I'm out of ways to tell you
All the terrible things I've done.
Please believe I never meant to,
But I let everything go wrong.

All that I can say now
Is how sorry I really am.
I'm not sure if you know how,
But, please forgive me if you can.

Sadly, my heart is revealing
Things I've been dying to say.
So now I'll express what I'm feeling,
And watch you walk away.

You don't have to forgive me.
I wouldn't if I were you.
So, now I'll just let you be.
It's the least that I could do.

Now the secrets are out of my head,
And you turn to walk away.
I know now, by the things you've said
That you always planned to stay.

Deep in my heart I'm concealing
Tears I've been longing to cry.
For they will betray what I'm feeling
As they fall from my silent eye.

Please know that I'm sorry.
