A Hard Secret To Keep Lyrics - Mark Chesnutt

I stay up late and read a lot at night 

Lately she's begun to wonder why 

She don't know I'm scared that I'll start talking in my sleep 

You're a hard secret to keep 

And every time she asks me where I've been 

A cheaters paranoia begins 

Scrambling for an answer anything she might believe 

You're a hard secret to keep 

One slip of the tongue's all it would take 

Just one little note that I forgot to throw away 

The slightest trace of make-up on a shirt that won't come clean 

You're a hard secret to keep 

I never meant for you to touch my heart 

I never meant to take one night this far 

How much longer can I live this double life I lead? 

You're a hard secret to keep
