Lyrics
(VERSE)
You thought you were past
Your past coming back
Back to haunt you
Mistakes you've made
They never left
Never left you
And bad habits die hard
They're so hard
Hard to let go
And the last thing you want
Is to let them
All know
(CHORUS)
So cover up your sins
Don't let anyone know where you've been
Put something nice on the outside
To keep them all on the outside
It would kill you
If they knew
Knew the truth
So, instead of being up front
You put up a front
To hide you
Don't let your secrets out
Out to see
The light of day
And if you keep this up
You figure that you will
Be okay
Cover up your sins
Don't let anyone know where you've been
Put something nice on the outside
To keep them all on the outside
(BRIDGE)
And the hole in the wall
That once was small is growing
And when all of the stops have been pulled
The flood will come down on you
Sooner or later, sooner or later, sooner or later
Cover up your sins
Don't let anyone know where you've been
Put something nice on the outside
To keep them all on the outside
