Every Little Secret

(Album: Rhythm Of The World - 2022)

You had it all, but then you wanted more
Took off alone right down a pipe dream
Thought all alone you'd run a better race
So down you went to find a faster pace
Playing with fire in a dangerous game

Dodge a bullet, cover up your tracks
Play in the shadows of a sidebar
Don't let it show, you wear a poker face
You'd give up everything for just a taste
Don't get discovered, lays it all to waste

Every little secret, every little lie
Every hidden corner in the back of your mind
It's in every heartbreak you can find
Every little secret, every little lie

Make a deal you wouldn't otherwise
While they're all looking out the front door
Stab in the back just to protect the lie
There lay the bodies of a better life
All for the profit of an extra dime

Every little secret, every little lie
Every hidden corner in the back of your mind
It's in every heartbreak you can find
Every little secret, every little lie

Two thousand reasons and you should be leaving
But your heart's on fire, heart's on fire
Two thousand reasons but it's so hard to fight it off

Out on the ledge where you don't see right
Because your brains on fire, brains on fire
Thinking you can push the odds that you can run the table
But it's a losing gamble

Every little secret, every little lie
Every hidden corner in the back of your mind
It's in every heartbreak you can find
Every little secret, every little secret, every little lie

Every little secret, every little lie
Every little secret, every little lie
Every little secret, every little lie
