Jaime Preciado - I'm the Secret

and I just fell in the deep end, 
like a lush without her weekend
but I wrote this for you kid. 
it's not what I wanted, I need it.
but man its a long trip, 
from all the crazy things I've seen in this world
I'm blessed, I guess.

but what if I was a secret, 
and you couldn't keep it?
and I swear I saw something good in your eyes 
before.
and if I sang it in the right key 
and I asked you politely for you to find a way home.

I find it difficult to sleep when all the walls, they just 
seem to speak to me.
it's kind of funny that I laugh because my heart's so 
fucked up 
I can barely stand the
sights and sounds of the cars outside, 
the red and greens on the traffic lights 
that the only thing I got is this, 
the only thing I want is this...

memories that make me smile, 
a girl to stand there so she can admire the way 
I can never ever really keep my hands to myself. 
but the alcohol it taste so sweet, 
when its mixed with lies and defeat of 
all the battles I lost and lost again.

but what if I was a secret, 
and you couldn't keep it?
and I swear I saw something pretty in your eyes 
before.
and if I sang it in the right key 
and I asked you politely for you to find a way home.

but what if you were the secret, 
and I didn't see it
and I swear to god, I wish these thoughts of mine
could create the sunshine 
as beautiful as your eyes
I'd paint this night sky.
and it's not like you need this, 
I just wanted you to see it
tonight.
