The Truth Is

It's the diagnosis that arrives too late
It's the dramatic pause that gives it away
It's the one true love that burns every bridge but still keeps looking back
It's the fountain of life that just ran dry
It's the photograph that always makes you cry but you still keep it by your side

It's the love letter that you spend hours writing then delete it because it is far too frightening
To tell the truth about love
To tell the truth about love is too hard
And I'll keep your secret
I'll take your secret with me
Yeah, I'll keep your secret
I'll take your secret with me

It's the one promise that I won't break
I tried to keep them all but life got in the way
It's like living your whole life wearing your stage smile
It's the blots in memory where important information lies
The feeling of saying goodbye when your heart is screaming no
It's the feeling of letting go when you want to fight for this love

To tell the truth about love is too hard
To tell the truth about love is too hard
And I'll keep your secret
I'll take your secret with me
Yeah, I'll keep your secret
I'll take your secret with me
To tell the truth about love is too hard, Yeah
To tell the truth about love is too hard
But I'll keep your secret
I'll keep your secret with me
Yeah I'll keep your secret with me
I'll take your secret with me
