[Verse 1]
You said
“Tell me something
You never told your friends”
I laughed into my sleeve
Picked at the cut on my thumb
Your jacket on my shoulders
Coffee going cold
All the tiny stories
Stuck behind my tongue
[Chorus]
The best kept secrets
Are the ones that change us
Quiet like a breath
Sharp like a cut
The best kept secrets
Sleep between our ribs
Say you want the truth
Can you carry this?
[Verse 2]
Names I only mutter
Into shower steam
Dreams I tried to bury
Under busy weeks
I trace them on your wrist
Like a crooked map
You say
“I won’t run”
But you’re shifting in your chair
[Chorus]
The best kept secrets
Are the ones that change us
Quiet like a breath
Sharp like a cut
The best kept secrets
Sleep between our ribs
Say you want the truth
Can you carry this?
[Bridge]
Some doors stay locked for a reason (hey)
Some rooms already on fire
If I hand you my matches
Will you just watch it burn?
[Chorus]
The best kept secrets
Are the ones that change us
Quiet like a breath
Sharp like a cut
The best kept secrets
Hiding in our chest
If I give you mine
Will you guard the rest?
