Lyrics

When the lights turn off and your secrets get hid beneath
Before bed all you can say is goodnight
Why can't they say I love you
How do I know their love is true

Chorus:
Cause when their lies come out, And the hurt can't be unseen
The doors and walls aren't enough, To keep the secrets from me

When the sun comes out and they deny what's hid beneath
Before the day they try to make it right
Why can't they find the words to say
How do I know we'll make another day

Chorus:

Bridge:
How do I know their love is true
How do I know what I can do
Just another year so many holidays
Time well spent or just thrown away
Don't you know when your secrets stay
A kid like me feels like I'm to blame

Chorus:
