The Secrets That You Keep

Mud · Best Of The 70's [2000]

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

The secrets that you keep.



I've only got myself to blame.

I played a losing game.

I lie awake and call your name

All I own is just a picture in a brocken frame

It seemed so hard for me to share

It's even harder now that you're not there (now baby)



Chorus

I'm losing sleep over the secrets that you keep

(Oh baby)

I'm losing sleep

over the secrets that you keep.

I lie awake at night not knowing where you are

You know it don't seem right that you could be so far away from me.

Oh oh the secrets that you keep



Since you've been gone our worlds have grown apart.

Now I don't know what's in your head or in your heart.

Those little things you kept so secretly.

They don't mean much to you but

they mean so much to me.



So won't you give me just one more chance.

I'm the fool who broke up our romance.

We used to have so many plans

and then I went and let you slip right through my hands.

I'll go on searching 'til I find

a way to get you back and make you mine (until then)



Chorus



I'm losing sleep over the secrets that you keep

I'm losing sleep over the secrets that you keep

I'm losing sleep over the secrets that you keep

I'm losing sleep over the secrets that you keep

repeat to fade
