Bury these secrets deep in the dark
Roots of a banyan pushing up hard
Meet me in private just for a while
Stoke the forbidden fire

Promise to hear me, see me, and care
Now and forever... will you be there

Secrets and lies -
Going home now to cry
'cept for one last goodbye
There'll be no more
secrets and lies

Soft and destructive, this thing that we seek
The spirit is willing, ah, but flesh is weak
Out of my way now, so no one gets hurt
I want and I want what I want to work

Promise to thrill me, see me, and care
Now and forever, will you be there?

Secrets and lies
Going home now to cry
'cept for one last goodbye
There'll be no more
Secrets and lies

I tell myself don't be a fool, it's very clear, I can't be seeing you
But every time I hear your voice or see your face, I wanna run to you
I feel your touch and once again I feel alive, you're with me everywhere
I try so hard to disregard the voice of reason that I don't wanna hear

Who here's without sin? Leave it behind
It's all been replaced now with your face and mine

Secrets and lies-
(I tell myself, don't be a fool, I can't be seeing you)
Going home now to cry
(But every time I hear your voice, I wanna run to you)
'cept for one last goodbye
(I feel your touch and once again I feel alive again)
There'll be no more
secrets and lies
(I try so hard to disregard these secrets and lies)
