It had to be a secret
A secret I couldn’t tell
So I loved you and measured you quietly
And that I did quite well
I wanted to shout from the rooftops
But kept all my love deep inside
Cause if anyone found out, this thing wouldn’t survive
I could understand the reasons
I knew that this was best
But sometimes it pushed me so far
My love was put to the test
As time grew I began to wonder if maybe this was right
If maybe on a spontaneous burst we could elope one night
But that would never happen
I knew it’d never come true
But deep inside I’ll always hold my secret love for you
