Pinkie Promise

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.
