Dirty Little Secret

DIRTY LITTLE SECRET - Written by Carroll Bryant 

You always made me believe that the sun

Would always shine

And then you made a path 

And headed in another direction

You gave your words to me and

Wrapped them up in pretty paper 

And with a pretty smile

Gave it to me without affection

Did you think that I would never learn?

You must have thought that someday

Surely

I would never keep it

So now I give it back to you 

So take it

And with it

You can keep your dirty little secret 

I read about you in the paper that I just invented

Another glass of something and 

I knew that I was hallucinating  

I couldn't act uninterested in it

So I just pretended that I read it twice

And still

I didn't know what it was saying

Did you think that I would look away?

Or see right through the wall

That you instigated

And so now I will knock it down

On top of you

And your little dirty secret

And take heed upon these words that I have written

Hearts and all that have been bitten

Spell it out in English with the blood you couldn't drink

And here me now

And screw you later

My heart's been broken by much greater

People than you are

So there!

So now

What are you gonna do?

You always made me believe that tomorrows another day

And then you made some kind of break

And headed for a new connection

You gave your words to me

And sent them with a bow

And with a gestured wink 

Gave it with some kind of power

Did you think that I would never learn?

You must have thought that someday

Surely

I would never keep it

So now I give it back to you 

So take it

And with it

You can keep your dirty little secret
