The Truth



Deep dark secrets we keep from the one we love
Believing we are helping but we are hiding
Hiding from the reality and denying the truth
That it hurts, your in pain
Your what to cry but you can't
You can't show your feelings
You can't show your love
So you hide, hide in the shadows
The shadow of whom you love
Believing she is bright so bright
She can hide your shame, your truth
That she is to good
To good to be truth
So you put her on a pedestal
And tell her she the best
