Secret: The 12 Minutes Musical

I've got a secret, one I wish I could share
With my hard working husband, who remains unaware
I could tell him tonight but it's too much to bare
Timing's everything

I've got a secret, that my wife won't believe
My intentions were good but they served to deceive
And it all appertains to that cold New Year's Eve
Timing's everything

Honey I'm dying to tell you something
A secret I need you to know
But lies are like weeds
And mine have all started to grow

I've got a secret and there's not going back
Now I've run out of time and it's time to attack
Just get in then get out, keep the mission on track
Timing's everything

I have a secret, but it may have to wait
I was secretly hoping I could finish your plate
It's police, open up!
Huh, ten seconds late
Timing's everything

Searching for some kind of answer
A key to release all my pain
I'm losing myself
But all of my lies remain

I've got a secret, and there's no one to tell
But this thing that you want, well, I want it as well
Just a chance to contrive of the chips always fell
And timing's everything
Secrets around us, the lies we invent
They were made out of love for the time that we spent
And they led to a watch in a dusty old vent
'Cause timing's everything

I've got a secret that I'd kill you to keep
But my kid's been through cancer and the bills have been steep
They were having a baby but money is tight
That watch is my way to get back to that night

Caught in a loop of deception
The puppet cuts off it's own string
Our time has run out
And timing is everything
