Verse 1:
I swear I told you everything,
But there's a part I can't let in.
Kept it locked up tight, behind my eyes,
It's buried deep where the truth lies.
Pre-Chorus:
I promised I’d never tell,
But it's breaking me down, can’t you tell?
Fingers crossed, lips sealed so tight,
I’m sinking in the dark, out of sight.
Chorus:
Pinkie promise, but I can't keep it,
Swallowed every word, can't release it.
Every thought, every lie, every tear,
I keep it to myself, out of fear.
A secret carved in my chest so deep,
Pinkie promise, but I can’t speak.
Verse 2:
We play this game, but I’m losing control,
Caught in the silence, it’s taking a toll.
You look at me like you already know,
But I’m afraid to let it go.
Pre-Chorus:
I promised I’d never tell,
But it’s burning me up, can’t you tell?
Fingers crossed, lips sealed so tight,
I’m drowning in the dark, out of sight.
Chorus:
Pinkie promise, but I can't keep it,
Swallowed every word, can't release it.
Every thought, every lie, every tear,
I keep it to myself, out of fear.
A secret carved in my chest so deep,
Pinkie promise, but I can’t speak.
Bridge:
If I let it out, will it hurt you more?
I don’t know if I can carry this anymore.
I’m breaking inside, can you see the cracks?
Trying to hold on, but I’m slipping back.
Outro:
Pinkie promise, but it’s tearing me apart,
A secret held in the corners of my heart.
I keep it to myself, can’t let you see,
This promise is killing me.
