DON'T TELL ME YR SECRET

from DEMOS by Rick Berlin

/

about

sometimes NOT knowing is a clearer window to the heart

lyrics

DON’T TELL ME YR SECRET

behind
the door
to your room
is a magic
world
of toys

broken
n weary
n full of regret
i wonder
what would happen…

if i opened the door
would we sit on the floor
would ya tell me yr secret?
if i close my eyes
would ya open the curtain
and show
what yr hiding?

but it doesn’t matter
wr close all the same
n secrets
can be time bombs
jes might ruin our day

say nothing
don’t tell me
i’d rather not know
i wonder what would happen…

if i opened the door
would we sit on the floor
would ya tell me yr secret?
if i close my eyes
would ya open the curtain
n show
what yr hiding
inside?

(whistle)

whistle a happy
tune in yr head
put yr hands together
