In the still of the night

When the stars start to shine bright

There's a thought in my mind

A story left behind

A secret I hold so dear

Locked away year after year

It's a part of my soul

That only I can control

The secret's a hidden key

To a world that's just for me

It's a whispered word in the dark

A dream that's off the mark

I keep it close never to tell

It's my own little private hell

But it gives me a strange kind of thrill

This secret that I will not spill

In the crowded room

Where the voices boom

I carry this weight

A truth I can't relate

It's like a shadow that follows

In every move that I make

A memory that lingers

No matter how I try to shake

The secret's a hidden key

To a world that's just for me

It's a whispered word in the dark

A dream that's off the mark

I keep it close never to tell

It's my own little private hell

But it gives me a strange kind of thrill

This secret that I will not spill

Sometimes I wonder what would happen

If I let it all out

Would the world still spin the same way

Or would it all fall out

But the fear holds me back

The unknown is too vast

So I keep it locked up tight

And let it be my mask

The secret's a hidden key

To a world that's just for me

It's a whispered word in the dark

A dream that's off the mark

I keep it close never to tell

It's my own little private hell

But it gives me a strange kind of thrill

This secret that I will not spill

As the days pass by

The secret's still alive

It's a part of who I am

A story yet untold but I'll stand

With this secret in my heart

Through every single part

Of this journey that I start
