You filled me up with secrets
And told me not to spill,
But you forgot to notice that
A secret - it can kill.

I was tired of keeping secrets
That's why I told you mine,
But then you went and gave me more
You said I saved you just in time.

So to go with all my secrets
Now I must keep yours
You don't even know; the
Exhaustion has me floored.

You wrapped me up in secrets
And tied me nice and tight
You've got me stressed and so high strung
It keeps me up at night.

But even so, I cannot tell,
Not a single soul,
That would be the worst betrayal
In all the living world.

For I understand your fear,
The torture of not knowing
Anything about our future,
And having to keep going.

You scrubbed away inside me,
Wiped off all the grime,
But now I'm scraped and red and raw,
And running out of time.
