Secret Keepers lyrics

by

Mary Chapin Carpenter


[Verse 1]
Give it up or go down with it
A secret's a boat tossed on a wave
All these years you've been living with it
And it's f*cked you up every which way

[Chorus]
Secret keepers are lost and found
Spare a little kindness when you meet someone
You never really know what they're carrying around
Every day is a battle that's never won

[Verse 2]
It's not safe to keep it hidden
And it's not safe to let it out
You just learn to do its bidding
As it blows you up from the inside out

[Chorus]
Secret keepers are lost and found
Spare a little kindness when you meet someone
You never really know what they're carrying around
Is it a live grenade or a loaded gun?

[Bridge]
Out of sight, out of questions
With your truest friend: depression
Whispering "me too," true confession
No relief and no redemption
[Chorus]
Secret keepers, we're all the same
Looking for some kindness when we meet someone
We get years of practice camouflaging shame
But the armor we're wearing weighs a ton
Secret keepers are lost and found
Spare a little kindness when you meet someone
You never really know what they're carrying around
