Secrets - Anastacia

late in September
memories I can't erase
the shiver through autumn
the memory of your face
'cause I grew much older
I wonder
whatever I could have done
to fight all the magnets

but I close my eyes
and find truth in what I'm sayin'
they thought it was all a lie
how could they deny it when I was just a
little child

secrets I kept inside me
no one can understand
secrets I had to hide
'cause no one would hold my hand when
secrets for me to know
and never for you to see
secrets for only me

emotions so bother my soul
to know that I felt much pain
I thought it would go far away
it did for the moment

find truth in what I'm sayin'
they thought it was all a lie
how could they deny it when I was just a child
baby, come one now

secrets I kept inside me
noone can understand
secrets I had to hide
'cause noone would hold my hand when
secrets for me to know
and never for you to see
secrets for only me

... the ones that could not escape the pain and missery
would noone ever set them free?
why do you pretend to see
all the pain they had to go through
can't you hear them cry to you?

secrets I kept inside me
noone can understand
secrets I had to hide
'cause noone would hold my hand when
secrets for me to know
never for you to see
secrets for only me
secrets

secrets I kept inside me
noone can understand
secrets I had to hide
'cause noone would hold my hand when
secrets for me to know
and never for you to see
secrets for only me

oh babies crying
people are dying
the secrets inside their heart noone ever yeah
oh yeah oh yeah
come on
come on and sing with me

secrets I
I know
there's nobody up in here
that can hear the cries hear
inside my mind
but I cry

No-one knows her secret, she's always hid it well
Her old man said he'd kill her if she would ever tell
What happened behind closed doors that sunny summer day
What happened in her childhood when mother was away
She left home on the same day she cashed her first pay cheque
Made her way to the big town where she could start afresh
She made friends and had a life forgot about the past
Met a guy and they went out, she hoped that it would last
She ain't been home in years since she ran away in tears
He made her laugh, he seemed to care and said "I love you" first
But he was a drunk and lost his job their marriage hit the dust
Is it too late now to get away from what he calls their life
When he wants her as a cash point doesn't want her as a wife
She ain't been home in years since she ran away in tears
The love she craved has died so she hung herself inside
