A Message in a Bottle

I cried and told the other why
To you I would indulge
Before uncertain of this past
And hoped you'd never care

I'd tell you all my secrets
But I lied about my past
So I'll have to keep them ever more.

I give so many answers
The questions I mistook
Overthrew their meaning
Their import overlooked

I went to one o' your parties
With confetti in my hair
And never told the when

I'd tell you all my secrets
But I lied about my past
I dared to keep them ever more

If only you could trust me
If only I did too
I told it to a stranger
When I said you just weren't there

Just wove a dream of likeness
I drove a piece of mind
Then you took the wrong directions
And the map you just won't find

I'd tell you all my secrets
Though I lied about my past
So I'll have to keep them ever more.
Forever more
