I don't want to let you down
but I know I have to
the way they remember us
is now up to you
let them tell their pretty lies
as long as you know the truth
I don't care if the world won't remember us
as long as you do

forever be
your little secret
your little secret

I used to fear the day I'd disappear
from the hallways of your memory
but now I'm alright with being forgotten
we were never meant to be
keep my picture above your bed
or scrub every doorknob and mirror clean
I'm too tired to care now
do whatever you please

forever be
your little secret
your little secret

Don’t cry baby
You know I can’t stick around
You always said we’d last for a million years
But that’s just a million chances for me to let you down
There’s nothing that scares me more
Than becoming just another f*ck up in your eyes
So before our springtime can turn sour and cold
Make me like a moth in your amber stone
You can’t save me, but can you freeze us in time?

forever be
your little secret
your little secret

you promise to keep me with you always
and I take my root inside your heart
I wander through the tunnels of your soul
sew back together all the broken parts
and sometimes in a quiet room
when you make your peace with the dark
you swear you can hear me scratching to get out
you swear you can hear me scratching to get out
