The Secret |
LyricsVerse 1 Eighteen candles, my suitcase is packed, Mama smiled as I looked back. A brand-new campus, a brand-new start, So many dreams inside my heart. My first college roommate--what will she be like? Will we become friends for life? I'll have to unpack fast to find what to wear... For my first frat party tonight. Instrumental Break Chorus No... No... No... I said the words. He didn't listen. No... No... No... Verse 2 If I tell my father, he'll ask why I didn't fight. If I tell my mother, she'll drive me home tonight. They'll look into my eyes and know I'm not the same... Will they believe that I am to blame? I'll lock these tears inside me, Hide this story deep below. No one has to know what happened... No one needs to know. Chorus Shame... Shame... Shame... Every question points at me, Every answer sets him free. Shame... Shame... Shame... Verse 3 One day I told my roommate... The words came hard and slow. She never tried to stop me... She simply let me know. Her eyes were filled with tears before A single word came through... She reached across and held my hand... Then whispered, "Me too." Final Gospel Chorus Me too... Me too... Me too... One voice... then another... Stories never told. Me too... Me too... Hands reaching through the silence... Breaking shame's long hold. Me too... Me too... Me too... Outro No longer just one voice... Me too. |
