secret keepers - mary chapin carpenter lyrics

[verse 1]
give it up or go down with it
a secret’s a boat tossed on a wave
all these years you’ve been living with it
and it’s f*cked you up every which way

[chorus]
secret keepers are lost and found
spare a little kindness when you meet someone
you never really know what they’re carrying around
every day is a battle that’s never won

[verse 2]
it’s not safe to keep it hidden
and it’s not safe to let it out
you just learn to do its bidding
as it blows you up from the inside out

[chorus]
secret keepers are lost and found
spare a little kindness when you meet someone
you never really know what they’re carrying around
is it a live grenade or a loaded gun?

[bridge]
out of sight, out of questions
with your truest friend: depression
whispering “me too,” true confession
no relief and no redemption
[chorus]
secret keepers, we’re all the same
looking for some kindness when we meet someone
we get years of practice camouflaging shame
but the armor we’re wearing weighs a ton
secret keepers are lost and found
spare a little kindness when you meet someone
you never really know what they’re carrying around
