You were a secret kept
Far from my heart
I know I should have wept
But no tears found their way out
You were an avalanche
A sharp decent with fast words, deliverance
(I will not be ashamed, I will move perfectly now)

And I, the minuet
Kept time by sorrow spent
Spoke soft, stood down
(Step away, step away, I will hold in my place)
And I have been losing sleep
So I can't be trusted to know
Every time you cry out

You say, "not enough, dear"
Should I change pace?
Move air through empty lungs?
Oh, compose yourself
And know that all you'll be
Is a secret kept upon my lips for now
