Secrets

We lie to our lovers, we lie to our friends

Painting our pictures and playing pretend

We keep our secrets all to ourselves

Stand at a distance so no one can tell


And nobody knows us and nobody will

We all keep pretending we're better, but still

We keep our secrets to cover our shame

You see the darkness and You love us the same


We run from our troubles, we run from our pain

Gather the dirt up and sweep it away

And we put our mask on, pretending by faith

And carry our secrets with us to the grave


And nobody knows us and nobody will

We all keep pretending we're better, but still

We keep our secrets to cover our shame

But You see the darkness and You love us the same


We hide our weakness, we hide our sin

We feel the guilt but we keep it all in

We are just children, small and afraid

Your truth will unmask us and love us the same


And nobody knows us and nobody will

We all keep pretending we're better, but still

We keep our secrets to cover our shame

And You see the darkness and You love us the same

You see the darkness and love us the same

You see the darkness and You love us the same
