softly kept Lyrics

There are some things that I shouldn't do

Like look at you too long

Cause when it all started I found it cathartic

To have you treat me wrong

I don't know how you sleep

Cause I've never stayed the night

But it's better this way

And far away I'll stay

Otherwise I will lose all my pride

Cause I'm so scared of admitting that I want you

But I'm more scared of you saying I want you too

Cause there's something so easy about being wrong

But baby, if you say you want me, I'll wonder how long

There are some things that I shouldn't say

Cause honesty is hard

And once the truth's out there, your whole heart is laid bare

For everyone to see

A secret softly kept is easier to swallow

And if I want to stay, lounge our day away, well you know I won't say

A thing

Cause I won't try to keep you if you want to go

But I can't start to tell you how dearly I want your love

Cause you build castles in the sky

And I'm still bone deep scared to fly And maybe, baby, if you keep holding my hand

I'll understand

I'm so scared of admitting that I want you

But I'm more scared of you saying I want you too

Cause there's something so easy about being wrong

But baby, if you say you want me, then I'll wonder how long
