biggest secret
There’s a name I never say
When everybody’s listening,
A thought I keep tucked away
Like a little hidden thing.
I can talk about a thousand dreams,
I can tell them what I’ve done,
But there’s one thing I keep locked inside,
And it’s about someone.
Maybe nobody would understand,
Maybe I’m scared they’ll know,
So I keep it underneath my words And never let it show.
You’re my biggest secret,
The one I never tell,
The feeling that I carry And somehow know so well.
You’re the thought inside my head
When the whole world goes to sleep,
The little piece of my heart That I’m trying hard to keep.
Maybe someday I’ll say it,
Maybe someday they’ll see,
But for now you’re my biggest secret,
And you mean the world to me.
(oh yeah)
Sometimes I almost tell someone,
Then I change my mind again,
I wonder what they’d say
If they knew about you then.
So I laugh and change the subject Whenever your name comes up,
While inside I’m trying not to show Just how much I’ve fallen
in love.
It’s funny how a secret Can take up so much space,
When all it takes is one small thought
To put a smile upon my face.
You’re my biggest secret,
The one I never tell,
The feeling that I carry And somehow know so well.
You’re the thought inside my head
When the whole world goes to sleep,
The little piece of my heart That I’m trying hard to keep.
Maybe someday I’ll say it,
Maybe someday they’ll see,
But for now you’re my biggest secret,
And you mean the world to me.
Maybe secrets aren't forever,
Maybe one day I'll be brave,
Maybe I’ll finally say your name And tell them how I feel
this way.
But until that day arrives,
I’ll keep this close to me,
A little secret in my heart That nobody else can see.
You’re my biggest secret,
The one I never tell,
The sweetest little feeling That I know so very well.
And maybe I’ll be fearless And finally let it free,
But for now you’re my biggest secret,
A hidden part of me.
Maybe someday I’ll say it,
Maybe someday they’ll see— But for now you’re my biggest secret,
And that’s okay with me.

secret)
