Keep It

Here's what happens, you get a bit alone
Not everybody gets that time on their own
What's in that box? Man, you know it's not my head
Maybe just all the stupid shit I said over the years

Your days go on endless and your months end up there, too
I'd let you hurt me, baby, if it's something to do
You were the best one, the best I ever had
But even that best one can still turn bad over the years

That's a secret
I'll keep it
I never felt so old
I've never felt so dumb before

Up on that ladder how'd I get so high
I don't remember getting home last night
If I keep on climbing, won't choose the best way down
And every night in those dreams I drown

So I think I need a leg up, I think I need a boost
Got caught in that barbed wire fence
Just like you said was gonna happen
So I'm leaving it to you

I clean out my desk and I lick my wounds
If that's your secret
I'll keep it
I'm never going out again

But if that's a secret
I'll keep it
