Written On The Back Of His Hand Lyrics - Lucy Kaplansky

You don't have any secrets when you come into the world 

You're open like a book and the pages get filled 

The leaves keep turning and on every single page 

They write their story with the marks on you face 

Marks on your face 

Locked in your head an unbreakable code 

A secret never spoken is a story never told 

Gonna show you the back of my hand they say 

You can hide those scars but they hurt you every day 

They hurt you every day 

They hurt you every day 

What was written on the back of his hand 

You once said it out loud you won't say it again 

What was written on the back of his hand 

You once said it out loud you won't say it again 

What was written on the back of his hand 

You won't say it again 

Water is holy when it falls from the sky 

Water tastes bitter when it falls from your eyes 

Lay down on the ground and look up at the sky 

There's no rhyme or reason when you're watching time fly 

Watching time fly 

When the stars come out the night is alive 

Connect those stars with the lines of your life 

With the lines on your hand with the words that you write 

One true word's gonna beat a pack of lies 

Beat a pack of lies 

Beat a pack of lies 

What was written on the back of his hand 

You once said it out loud you won't say it again 

What was written on the back of his hand 

You once said it out loud you won't say it again 

What was written on the back of his hand 

You won't say it again 

One true word's gonna beat a pack of lies 

One true word's gonna beat a pack of lies 

Beat a pack of lies 

What was written on the back of his hand 

You once said it out loud you won't say it again 

What was written on the back of his hand 

You once said it out loud you won't say it again 

What was written on the back of his hand 

You won't say it again
