Lyrics
Today I heard some very desturbing news
and I really need a friend
someone to talk too
now what im about to tell you
don't know where to start
but this pain is waying heavy
on my heart
I tried to tell my family
they just couldent understand
wish could take it to the church
but I jes cant
so what i need too know from you
isssssssss
can you keep a secret
if i told you bout my life
would you promise not to tell a soul
promice me right now
can you keep a secret
if i spilled my heart to you
wouldcha promise not to tell anyone
im depending on you
ive tried ta tell my family
they just could't understand
wanna take it to the church
but i just can't
so what i need to know from you
isssssssss
can you keep a secrate
ya see i lived my life trying to do what's right
not in my wildest dreams
this should happen to me
never have i harmed anyone
tried my best to keep the peace
now how can i tell my kid
whats happen to me
now i cant be sure what my future holds
but my god my god lord knows he knows
can you keep a secret
if i told you bout my life
would you promice not to tell a soul
promise me right now
can you keep a secret
if i spilled my heart to you
wouldcha promise not to tell anyone
im depending on you
can you keep a secret
