Lyrics

It seems I loved you for so long
It seems like all my life
Just like a child who doesn't belong
You'd run, 'til even the sun became your shadow
And I know you better than I know myself, you know
So I pretend you got somewhere else to go

Sometimes I believed, what you had to say
Then I watched you bleed, all the truth away
Somewhere in my heart, there's a place I know
Where all our dirty little secrets go

Nobody's perfect, certainly not us
We've all got secrets to keep
I would have kept yours safe in my heart
You would have always known where to find me
And I hate you in your innocence, you know
But I hate myself even more for lovin' you so

Sometimes I believed, what you had to say
Then I watched you bleed, all the truth away
Somewhere in my heart, there's a place I know
Where all our dirty little secrets go

(Spoken) sometimes it hurt so bad that you cry
Then there's the times you wish you had died
Sometimes the truth is worse than the lie (sometimes)
Sometimes it's best to lock it away
In a place that's secret and safe
Sometimes you just pretend you don't know
Sometimes it's best to let go

Sometimes I believed, what you had to say
Then I watched you bleed, all the truth away
Somewhere in my heart, there's a place I know
Where all our dirty little secrets go
(X2)
Where all our dirty little secrets go
