Dirty Little Secret

If I had the chance love
I would not hesitate
To tell you all things I never said before
Don’t tell me it’s too late
‘Cause I’ve relied on my illusion
To keep me warm at night
And I’ve denied in my capacity to love
But I am willing to give up this fight

I’ve been up all night drinking to drown my sorrows down
But nothing seems to help me since you went away
I’m so tired of this town where every tongue is wagging
When every back is turned
They’re telling secrets that should never be revealed
There’s nothing to be gained from this but disaster

Here’s a good one
Did you hear about my friend
He’s embarrassed to be seen now
‘Cause we all know his sins

If I had the chance love
I would not hesitate
To tell you all things I never said before
Don’t tell me it’s too late
‘Cause I’ve relied on my illusion
To keep me warm at night
And I’ve denied in my capacity to love
But I am willing to give up this fight

Oh, I am willing to give up this fight
