[Verse 1] Throw yourself back you were better back then But then you started to play dumb and you started to pretend You say a lot of words but they don't make sense No I think I'm better off by myself in the end It's time now for drop off [?] home at 3 o'clock in the morning and I'm still alone with you It's never a good idea to show what you have in your mind and you're all alone with me too
[Pre-Chorus] Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah [Chorus] Keep your secrets to yourself And put me high up on a shelf Look at me when you walk by Just enough to make me cry
Make me cry
[Verse 2] A sidewalk's cracks you step on my back and you look away as the bones begin to crack Keep me healthy keep me strong Don't keep me with you all day long You're hurting me, don't look at me Don't look at me, don't look at me
[Chorus] Keep your secrets to yourself And put me high up on a shelf Look at me when you walk by Just enough to make me cry
[Bridge] Now listen you're a very talented individual Make it seem like you care when you couldn't care less It's pretty impressive And I never would've guessed that all this time I was just the one who'd watch from the sideline while you ran off with somebody else But you were never mine to begin with Just a dream of mine that I live with everyday, and it eats away At whatever made me think you were any good in the first place I'm over it by now, I'm over you And all the excuses that you couldn't love me I just wish you never told me
[Chorus] Keep your secrets to yourself And put me high up on a shelf Look at me when you walk by Just enough to make me cry
