THE SECRET

The Secret

Lyrics by Hal Pollock

I have a secret I keep locked up inside
That all my life I’ve been trying to hide
From the moment I met you it always was you
My greatest secret that you never knew

I’ve suffered in silence but not one more day
The pain in my heart it just won’t go away
The heart wants what it wants and it wants you to stay
So now is the time I must finally say

It’s always been you yes always just you
I just couldn’t reveal what I think that you knew
Afraid what you’d say if you knew it was true
That all of this time I have loved only you

Do you have a secret you never can tell?
One that you’ve kept from the moment you fell
Tell them your secret and you just might find
That they have a secret the very same kind

Living a secret is living in Hell
There comes a time you must finally tell
The heart wants what it wants and it can’t be denied
Sooner or later you have to confide

It’s always been you yes always just you
I just couldn’t reveal what I think that you knew
Afraid what you’d say if you knew it was true
That all of this time I have loved only you

Do you have a secret you never can tell?
One that you’ve kept from the moment you fell
Tell them your secret and you just might find
That they have a secret the very same kind
