You can tell me how to act—
And I'm a pretty good liar,
But you can't tell me how to feel.
I can feel like there
Is a thunderstorm
In my chest
But look as calm as
The sunshine
And you'll never be
In on the secret.

You can tell me how to act—

But you can't tell me how to feel.

And you'll never be
In on the secret.
