I wanted to do the right thing
I don't wanna keep these secrets
but I can't tell anyone here
no no
it would wreck everything

a lapse in judgement
that's all it was
but I've got guilt
I think that's what this is
it's not shame
because it's not something I regret
I don't feel much towards it
just that it's a secret
and I can't stand them
and they're piling up on me Devil
a weight on my chest
a burden I don't want

but I brought them on myself
I've gotta take responsibility for it
I had my part to play in it all
silent responsibility
silent guilt

one day it'll claw it's way out
become revealed as truth

I wanted to do the right thing Devil
I really did
but maybe you'll never find out
why I wrote this
even when it has nothing to do with you

I just really needed to talk to you
and this is as close as I get
