Secrets

You look at me like I don't speak your language
Your eyes seem really faraway
Your hands are really shaking pretty bad
As you light your thirty-second cigarette
No, no don't turn away...
I see you smile, but you're so sad
Swallowing all those awefull secrets
That you can never tell
Your troubles crawl around inside your veins
All the worries seeped underneath your skin
You know you really should get yourself together
But, you just can't seem to pick yourself up off the floor
You know that there's more to life than this
You just can't see that far...
Standing there, sorrow is your stance
Shoulder sagging, slightly
There's so much pain in your face
The tragedies of life weigh you down
Oh, my sweet baby...
You know you're getting really hard to be with
But, don't turn away again, don't put out the light
Come here, and lay your head upon my shoulder
Share this burden that you have
For it is too much for you to carry
Too much for you to bury...
And my love, this love, our love
Can make it all alright...
