about

From the 2013 indie/handmade EP Firecracker

lyrics

He comes home every evening
You lay down by his side
He can tell ‘cuz you can’t hide
The secret in your eyes

I wonder what he is thinking
He can hear you sigh
They give you away even when words escape
The secret in your eyes

The secret can never be told
It must be held deep inside
Love does not exist anyway
So it’s okay to deny

I am less than empty
Left on the outside
Here I sit trying to forget
The secret in your eyes
I try hard to quit but I can’t forget
The secret in your eyes
