Lyrics

Keeping Things From You
Copyright 2003, Ryan Scott, T.W. Scott

It finally hit me today; the fact that you?re gone.

With all of this time on my hands I see what I?ve done wrong.

I promised you on that day my old ways were through.

I change the man that I was into a new man for you.

But you can?t just change your mind and change your heart too.

I tried to hide my heart and my wrongs from you

I?ve been keeping things from you that I should have been keeping from myself.

Each time I swore it?d be the last time that I fell.

The secret sins of my heart were the secrets I?d never tell.

I?ve been keeping things from you that I should have been keeping from myself.


I could never hide my heart. You could always read my mind.

The things that I kept from you were the things that you?d find.

You said love will find a way if I could be strong.

And our love was blind enough to see past my wrongs.

Tears fell and tempers flared, I promised again.

But where my promise failed, my lies just being.


Chorus


I could?ve been the man that you deserve, but I wasn?t the one at all.

The choices I made and the things that I?d do just hurried us toward the fall

Out of love, in despair, I know I?ve let you down. When will it ever end.

I?ve cheated and lied and promised and cried again and again and again.


I read the note last night. You?ve packed up and gone.

He drove you so far away to a brand new home.

Where no one will ever lie or be untrue.

And he?ll be what I couldn?t be?open and honest with you.

He?ll hold you tight tonight. He?ll tuck in my son.

My world has come crumbling down by the things that I?ve done.
