I wrote my mother yesterday 'cause I had some things that I had to say[00:00:09]

And I know that when she reads them she's gonna cry[00:00:17]

But in the end I hope she sees[00:00:24]

That I'm just trying to break free[00:00:29]

'Cause I've been walking 'round with secrets now too long[00:00:33]

Back when I was barely ten Mom brought home a new boyfriend[00:00:41]

And I know that times were bad and he made her feel good[00:00:49]

But one night he climbed into my bed[00:00:57]

And he left me wishing I was dead[00:01:01]

And I've been walking 'round with secrets now too long[00:01:05]

You say I'm digging up the past and it's not wise to go back[00:01:13]

But for me it's just as close as yesterday[00:01:22]

And I'm not the kind for breaking rules[00:01:30]

And I'm not wanting to be cruel[00:01:34]

I've just been walking 'round with secrets now too long[00:01:38]

All my life I've felt ashamed 'cause I thought I was the one to blame[00:01:54]

And I vowed to God that no one else would ever know[00:02:02]

How he crushed my childish pride[00:02:10]

And left me tears that never dried[00:02:14]

And I've been walking 'round with secrets now too long[00:02:18]

You say I'm digging up the past and it's not wise to go back[00:02:26]

But for me it's just as close as yesterday[00:02:35]

And I'm not the kind for breaking rules[00:02:42]

And I'm not wanting to be cruel[00:02:46]

I've just been walking 'round with secrets now too long[00:02:50]

And I've just been walking 'round with secrets now too long[00:02:58]
