Helen Hecht - Secrets

Secrets the ones that a deep in your soul
The ones you tell your friends
But those are not what my secrets are

The Secrets i have are of
My mommy and daddy fighting
They secrets of the overheard talk about money
The talk about even me
Those are the secrets I have

Even though my secrets don't seem important to me
They cost my parents the life
The secrets of the bad things
I never ever had a secret about the good things

Many of my secrets
They don't know i have
But they will never know
Because they're safe with me
