Don't Tell

(album: How Did We Get So Dark? - 2017)

Everybody saw you get your coat
And everybody heard your bad excuse for leaving
Say "I'm going out for a smoke"
No one has to know about our little secret
Meet you there
In the dark
I won't say anything
If you don't

So don't tell
I swear I won't tell on you
On you
Don't tell
I swear I won't tell

Used to have a heart of gold
Now I'm staying up at night
Your dirty little dreamer
Always ready to reload
At your command
Wish I could keep you
Syncronised on demand
As we fantasise what they can't know

Oh don't tell
I swear I won't tell on you
On you
Don't tell
I swear I won't tell

I know it's hard to bear
Hiding everywhere
Trying to forget
Keeping it on the down-low
I wish we'd skip a beat
Give up this hide and seek
Think I just changed my mind
Let's just let everybody know

Don't tell
I swear I won't tell on you
On you
Don't tell
I swear I won't tell on you
On you
Don't tell
I swear I won't tell
