Joshua West - Little Secrets

from Round 8, Week 2 by Monday Morning 3AM Music Club

/

lyrics

As the morning light casts its glow
she pulls herself from bed.
The hours waiting for sleep in vain,
the thoughts racing, rattling her brain

And she sits in front of the mirror
putting herself together.
A daily routine she knows by heart
although her world is falling apart.

They have both been living
as though they’re holding their breath.
Taking for granted what they’re given
and one day closer to death.
Life is too short for secrets
between lovers and friends.
The truth is always certain
and becomes clear in the end.

As the evening light falls through the window
she wrings her hands at the sink.
She winders if he has a clue,
and what he’ll say, what he’ll do.

And she stares at the stranger in the mirror,
whose problems are hers as well.
She knows it’s time that she came clean,
there is no longer an in between.

They have both been living
as though they’re holding their breath.
Taking for granted what they’re given
and one day closer to death.
Life is too short for secrets
between lovers and friends.
The truth is always certain
and becomes clear in the end.

As she sits him down to tell him,
she stumbles over the words.
But she knows they are so hard to say,
that another love’s nine months away.

And he stares with slack jawed wonder,
and tears well in his eyes.
He holds her and wipes away her tears
and with them all of her fears.

They have both been living
on the edge of a knife.
Taking for granted what they’re given
but one day closer to life.
Life is too short for secrets
between lovers and friends.
The truth is always certain
and becomes clear in the end.
