Late in September
The memories I can't erase
That shivered through Autumn
The memory of your face
As I grow much older
I wonder whatever I could have done
To fight all the madness
But I close my eyes
To find truth in what I'm saying
They thought it was all a lie
How could they deny it when I was just a little child?
Secrets I kept inside me
No one can understand
Secrets I had to hide
'Cause no one would hold my hand
Well, secrets for me to know
And never for you to see
Secrets for only me
Emotions so bother my soul
To know that I felt such pain
I thought it would go far away
It did for the moment
But truth in what I'm saying
They thought it was all a lie
How could they deny it when I was just a child?
Babe, come on now
Secrets I kept inside me
No one can understand
Secrets I had to hide
'Cause no one would hold my hand
Well, secrets for me to know
And never for you to see
Secrets for only me
The little ones they could not escape
The pain and missery
Would no one ever set them free?
Why do you pretend to see all the pain they had to go through?
Can't you hear them cry to you?
Secrets I kept inside me
No one can understand
Secrets I had to hide
'Cause no one would hold my hand
Well, secrets for me to know
Never for you to see
Secrets for only me
Secrets
Secrets I kept inside me
No one can understand
Secrets I had to hide
'Cause no one would hold my hand
Well, secrets for me to know
And never for you to see
Secrets for only me
Babies cryin'
People are dyin'
There's secrets inside their hearts
Oh yeah,...
C'mon
C'mon and sing with me
Secrets I
I know, there's nobody up in here
That can hear the cries I hear
Inside my mind
But I cry
Yea,...
