I first saw you crying
As the sun was rising
Breaking through the morning gloom
When I asked you why
You just turned away and
Shook your head you never said
I know that you're not trying to hurt me
I understand you need your time
You don't need to please me
Don't need to appease me
If it helps I'm here for you
Chorus 1
I can't see the things you've seen
I can't feel the way you feel
And so I understand if you can't share
Your secret life with me
Long before I met you
How could I forget how
Someone else changed my life
Now they're gone forever
But I sometimes wonder
Could-have-beens, a wasted life
There are secrets that we carry
From other lives we've left behind
So let's keep our secrets
We all need a place for
Memories that we can't share
Chorus 2
You can't see the things I've seen
You can't feel the way I feel
So do you understand why I can't share
My secret life with you?
Chorus 3
We have seen the things we've seen
And we feel the way we feel
And so I understand
Why you can't share
Your secret live with me
