A Hard Secret to Keep - 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

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

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 wonder if she feels you every time she touches me

You're a hard secret to keep
