how to keep a secret Lyrics

The mob demands some proof, while shoutin' liar, whore

And suddenly I'm back on the Place de la Concorde

Confessing all the sins of other men who took

Just wanting to be held, instead I get that look

It says you're so naive, you expect me to believe you

Bitter silence on a million Rue-Saint-Somethings

"What did you expect?" He said, "you had it coming"

You taught me how to keep a secret

I learned real young it was "all my fault"

You sent me back right to that beach

Where no was not enough

On my knees and counting stars

I was only six, with bloody knees again

Pushed off of the swings by a boy named Benjamin

Crying out for help the teacher shakes her head

No one likes a tattle, bottle it instead

Boys they will be boys, in their nature to destroy

Bitter silence, in the corner of the class

You can join us when you think you've learned your lesson

You taught me how to keep a secret

I learned real young it was "all my fault"

You sent me back right to that beach

Where no was not enough

On my knees and counting stars

On my knees and counting stars

On my knees and counting stars

On my knees and counting stars

Oh you taught me how to keep a secret

I heard you have a daughter now
