What do you Keep Inside?
What do you keep inside?
What are these secrets that you hide?
I thought that I knew you
How much of what you said was untrue?
You kept telling me lies
As you looked right into my eyes
The person I thought I knew
Oh, that wasn’t even you
You made me promises
That I was naïve enough to believe
I thought you cared for me
But I never meant anything
Despite your deceit
I can’t seem to walk away
For once, I felt complete
For once, I felt okay
What do you keep inside?
What are these secrets that you hide?
I thought that I knew you
How much of what you said was untrue?
You kept telling me lies
As you looked right into my eyes
The person I thought I knew
Oh, that wasn’t even you
Why couldn’t you be yourself?
You chose to fool me
I hope you’re happy now
While I’m here crying quietly
You lied right to my face
But I still can’t get you off my mind
I can feel your warm embrace
Your love is nothing I will find
What do you keep inside?
What are these secrets that you hide?
I thought that I knew you
How much of what you said was untrue?
You kept telling me lies
As you looked right into my eyes
The person I thought I knew
Oh, that wasn’t even you
I know you’ll slowly fade
Right now you’re still vibrant
You’re alive and I’m afraid
You’re dancing and I’m broken
Get out of my head
Allow me to forget
Inside I am dead
Somewhere there’s a pulse
What do you keep inside?
What are these secrets that you hide?
I thought that I knew you
How much of what you said was untrue?
You kept telling me lies
As you looked right into my eyes
The person I thought I knew
Oh, that wasn’t even you
