I stay up late and read a lot at night   Lately she’s begun to wonder why    She don’t know I’m scared that I'll start talking in my sleep   You’re a hard secret to keep       And every time she asks me where I’ve been   A cheater’s paranoia begins   Scrambling for an answer   Anything she might believe    You’re a hard secret to keep       One slip of the tongue is all it would take   Just one little note, that I forgot to throw away   The slightest trace of make-up on a shirt that would come clean    You’re a hard secret to keep       I never meant for you to touch my heart   Never meant to take one night this far   How much longer can I live this double life I lead   You’re a hard secret to keep       I wonder if she feels you every time she touches me   You’re a hard secret to keep
