you were a secret kept
 far from my heart
 i know i should have wept
 but no tears found their way out
 you were an avalanche
 a sharp decent with fast words, deliverance
 (i will not be ashamed, i will move perfectly now)
 and i, the minuet
 kept time by sorrow spent
 spoke soft, stood down
 (step away, step away, i will hold in my place)
 and i have been losing sleep
 so i can't be [bad word] to know
 every time you cry out
 you say, "not enough, dear"
 should i change pace?
 move air through empty lungs?
 [bad word] yourself
 and know that all you'll be
 is a secret kept upon my lips for now
