A Day in February - Secrets Do Hurt Lyrics

I say I'm yours
But somehow I can't ignore
The fact that I regret
Telling what should not have been said

I trust my heart once more
In hopes it won't be ignored
How great that this all may seem
Wishing that I may again be able to feel

Real, real, real, real, feel, real, real

So I'm forced to be a hypocrite
To make statements that I preach against
To avoid you pain is what I'm about
Sometimes the only thing keeping us alive is doubt
Honesty can hurt, It will ruin perfection
If I say it, can you accept it

Secrets do hurt, Secrets do hurt
Secrets do hurt, Secrets do hurt

I lie to you, you lie to me
Failed honesty
Now that's something I can believe

How long can you stay blind
Just to avoid an awkward time
It hurts that you don't trust my mind
Do you think either way I'd leave you behind

Trust cannot get you far
And if it does it will cost you love
I'll wait with a bleeding tongue
For you to come and prove me wrong

So I'm forced to be a hypocrite
To make statements that I preach against
To avoid you pain is what I'm about
Sometimes the only thing keeping us alive is doubt
Honesty can hurt, It will ruin perfection
If I say it, can you accept it

Secrets do hurt, Secrets do hurt
Secrets do hurt, Secrets do hurt

I lie to you, you lie to me
Failed honesty
Now that's something I can believe

Only in the presence of aged perfection can I whisper
That you are the red inside my heart
