| I wrote my mother yesterday 'cause I had some things that I had to say | |
| and I know that when she reads them she's gonna cry | |
| But in the end I hope she sees | |
| that I'm just trying to break free | |
| 'cause I've been walking 'round with secrets now, too long | |
| Back when I was barely ten Mom brought home a new boyfriend | |
| and I know that times were bad and he made her feel good | |
| but one night he climbed into my bed | |
| and he left me wishing I was dead | |
| and I've been walking 'round with secrets now, too long | |
| You say I'm digging up the past and it's not wise to go back | |
| but for me it's just as close as yesterday | |
| and I'm not the kind for breaking rules | |
| and I'm not wanting to be cruel | |
| I've just been walking 'round with secrets now, too long | |
| All my life I've felt ashamed, 'cause I thought I was the one to blame | |
| and I vowed to God that no one else would ever know | |
| how he crushed my childish pride | |
| and left me tears that never dried | |
| and I've been walking 'round with secrets now, too long | |
| You say I'm digging up the past and it's not wise to go back | |
| but for me it's just as close as yesterday | |
| and I'm not the kind for breaking rules | |
| and I'm not wanting to be cruel | |
| I've just been walking 'round with secrets now, too long | |
| and I've just been walking 'round with secrets now, too long |
