My secret garden

My secret garden is not so secret anymore
Run from the house, holding my head in my hands
Feeling dejected, feeling like a child might feel
It all seems so absurd
That this should have occurred
My very only secret
And I had to go and leak it
My secret garden is not so secret anymore

No, my secret garden is not so secret anymore
Run through the fields, down to the edge of the water
Can’t stay long, here comes the reason why
She’ll catch me if she can
Take me by the hand
I’ll have to keep on running
And I just can’t see the fun in
My secret garden not being secret anymore

It used to be so easy
On days such as these she’d
Search and search for hours
In among the flowers

I loved it – I loved her
Play the fool, act so cruel – I loved it
Read her book, take a look – I loved her
Play the fool, act so cruel – I loved it
Read her book, take a look – I loved her

It all seems so absurd
That this should have occurred
My very only secret
And I had to go and leak it
My secret garden is not so secret anymore
