Something Secret
Lyrics

I get the feeling that you might be keeping

Something from me that I should be hearing

I can’t imagine what you might be hiding

Don’t leave it unsaid just to keep me smiling

See I can handle the pain of rejection

The abyss that follows the loss of affection

Completeness is gone I need time for reflection

But please spit it out cos I can’t stand the tension

-

THERE'S SOMETHING SECRET AND YOU’RE TRYING TO KEEP IT

HIDDEN INSIDE SO YOU’RE TELLING ME LIES

THERE'S SOMETHING SECRET AND YOU’RE TRYING TO KEEP IT

HIDDEN INSIDE BUT, I’M GETTING WISE

-

I’m tired of waiting, an inner voice saying

That thing we had is now wearily fading

I’d prefer the truth to some stupid excuse

Cos if you lie it’s like driving a stake in

It hurts me greatly if you can’t relate me

The kind of feelings you think will deflate me

I’d rather be informed than visibly torn

But you only greet me and treat me with scorn

-

THERE'S SOMETHING SECRET AND YOU’RE TRYING TO KEEP IT

HIDDEN INSIDE SO YOU’RE TELLING ME LIES

THERE'S SOMETHING SECRET AND YOU’RE TRYING TO KEEP IT

HIDDEN INSIDE BUT, I’M GETTING WISE
Lowdown

I have a thing about honesty. I believe in telling the whole truth all the time, not censoring something if you're going to talk about it at all, and if you really don't want to talk about something, just don't mention it.

It's mainly because when I was younger, I made a massive mistake. I told a great big whopping lie. When later, overcome by guilt, I eventually told the truth, it meant that the person I needed to trust me the most, hardly trusted me at all.

If it wasn't for that lie, I think my life would have been quite different, but I guess as they say, you gotta go there to come back.

So now, when people lie to me, or pepper me with half-truths and mumbled half explanations, I have little patience for them. I don't want anyone else to make the same mistake I did.

Something Secret is therefore about the almighty struggle involved in getting someone who finds it difficult to express themselves to spit out what's really running through their head. I've also given it a relationship slant so it has a double meaning.
