Secret Keeper

Secret Keeper

Secret keeper, better keep those lips sealed;
filled to the top with words you'll never reveal.
Secret keeper, better keep your mouth closed.
Hold on tight, never let yourself go.

Secret keeper, never doubt
I'll hold you accountable.

I guess that's the price you pay
living off others' mistakes.
I guess that someday you'll learn
secrets aren't meant to be heard.

Secret keeper, better keep my advice,
secret-telling isn't worth the price.
Secret keeper, better keep til the grave
or you'll regret it to your dying day.

Secret keeper, never doubt,
you'll be held accountable.

I guess that's the price we pay
living off others' mistakes.
I guess that someday you'll learn
secrets aren't meant to be heard.

Secret keeper, I was one the same
until I was overcome by the pain...

Secret keeper, never doubt,
you'll never escape broken vows.

I guess that's the price I paid
living off others' mistakes.
I hope that someday we'll learn
secrets will always be heard.

Secret keeper, there's a bomb with no shelter
and you hold the detonator.

Procrastinationnnnn

Wow! I was just going through this thing and I realized that I had comments! That's insane! It makes me blush, honestly, knowing that someone else actually read something I wrote... haha. I'm sheepish.


I just want to thank anyone who may stumble upon this page and reads these words. Maybe you're a friend that I practically dragged to the site, or maybe a nosy family member. Or maybe you're just some random Joe/Juliet who somehow managed to find the ramblings of some strange girl.

No matter who you are, I want you to know that you're amazing and I appreciate you.

Thank you!

Feel Like This

Flashback to the first time we met --
I swore I'd never forget
the magic in your eyes,
you gave me butterflies.

Flashback to the first time you called me,
three days felt like eternity
and when you finally asked me to dance,
I couldn't catch my breath.

All of my walls, they came crashing down in your arms.
Boy, you sure make hating love hard.
All of my life, I have waited for this moment,
dreamed of it, wished for it,
never thought it would feel like this.

Flashback to the night in your car
when you kissed me for the first time under the stars.
And nothing will ever begin to compare
to that first night that we shared.

Flashback to our very first fight,
the first time you ever made me cry.
But you didn't, you wouldn't walk away.
I begged you to leave but you stayed.

All of my walls, they came crashing down in your arms.
Boy, you sure make hating love hard.
All of my life, I have waited for this moment,
dreamed of it, wished for it,
never thought it would feel like this.

We'll take it one day at a time,
but when I look into your eyes
with you looking at me that way,
it's so easy to dream...

Fast forward, few years from now,
white dress, black tux, and some vows.
Preacher speaks his words of peace and
then I fall into your embrace....

And all of my walls will come crashing down in your arms,
Boy, you sure make hating love hard.
All of my life, I will wait for that moment,
wish for it, dream of it,
and I hope it still feels just like this.

I hope we still feel just like this.
You've shown me fairytales exist.

Never Hit

In honor of Valentines day, I figure I will post a negative and a positive addressing this romance nonsense. This one was written for a person dear to me who is going through a rough time in his marriage. I initially wrote it in his presence as a joke, but it's been on my mind, so I'm reworking it a little to give it a more serious vibe. Note: This is going to be a very rough draft...

Never Hit

I gave you a rose for every year together
since we said, "I do".
Yeah, I never thought I would run out of chances
to show my love to you.

But you folded, you ripped all to pieces everything
I was fighting for.
So on this so-called "special" day, I'll make sure to turn and say
as I'm walking out the door,

"You threw away my lovin'
so I never hit a dozen.
You swore 'til death due us part,
but you only broke my heart.
I thought I'd be giving you roses by the barrel
but we only saw seven together.
You threw away my lovin',
I never hit a dozen."
