Secret Song

Secret Song

I'm pickin' up these broken pieces again
Feelin' like I'm lost, and all I do is find you there
We've been here before, never comin' back again, not again
Tomorrow is too soon for you, my dear
I push you oh so far away, when all I do is want you near
But I've been here before, not comin' back again
And I can't sleep, because pretenders never sleep with a smile
It's hard enough to wake up after a while
And even though I say I'm feeling fine,
I'm locked up loaded down, sure to try
Have I told you, lately, that I love you?
Have I told you that I hold nothing there above you?
We've been around here before, we're never comin' back again, not again
And I love the way you walk, the way that you talk, the way you live
The way that you give me everything you promised you would
And if I could, I'd be here... again
But I can't sleep because pretenders never sleep with a smile (smile)
It's hard enough to wake up after a while
And even though I say I'm feeling fine (fine)
I'm locked up loaded down, sure to try
I wish to God that I've been there for you, my dear
There's so much pushin' me all around, I'd love to hold you near
And I don't expect you to stay, and I'm never gonna ask you why
'cause I'm locked up loaded down, sure to try
I'm locked up loaded down... and I'm sure to try
