Lyrics
Our Secret
© 2014 Evan Zappa & The Necessity
The promise so long forgotten
We barely remember its name
Two sides of a coin never minted
All gussied up in its shame
We know where once was commitment
Burns a funeral pyre
The bond that entered so freely
Desperately longs to expire
(chorus)
It's as if it never happened - as if we never met
The way you looking right through me is no longer our secret
You claim to want forgiveness
Where no sorrow exists
I'm fighting to remember
Just how long it's been like this
We will never find redemption
With a penlight in a cave
Till one of us steps forward
With a torch beside this grave
(chorus)
It's as if it never happened - as if we never met
The way you looking right through me is no longer our secret
(brief instrumental break)
So kneel down here right beside me
where did we leave those vows
my hands are shaking on this torchlight
we'll get it lit somehow
(chorus)
It's as if it never happened - as if we never met
The way you looking right through me is no longer our secret
