My Secret Love
(Verse 1)
Love has never been easy for me
Can't you see
I've always been lonely?
Faith, it seems like a mystery
Girls like me
Have to hide our hearts away
If we could only live one day
Without the need to hide away
And tell the truth to everyone
How I live for you
But people never understand
They'll destroy us if they can
Saying we were struck down by the hand
Of Heaven
We must be wise
And keep our disguise
Stand by our lies
My secret love
(Chorus)
I refuse
To think of losing you
I won't give the world
The chance of accusing you
I refuse
I'd sooner die than tell
I'm under your sweet spell
My secret love
(Verse 2)
No, don't say a single world
Can't be sure
Can't be sure that we won't be heard
Like Romeo and Juliet
They will chase us to our death
Then voice their false regret
They're liars
But since the day that we first met
Until the day I take my dying breath
I'll be tangled in your net
Of desire
(Chorus)
I refuse
To think of losing you
I won't give the world
The chance of accusing you
I refuse
I'd sooner die than tell
I'm under your secret spell
My secret love
(instrumental break)
(Chorus)
I refuse
To think of losing you
I won't give the world
The chance of abusing you
I refuse
To tell the truth of you
I refuse for you
My secret love
(spoken outro)
You and I, we're like spies in the house of holy love. We are actors in a heartless play. I smile my smile and play my part and forever hide my lonely heart. My secret love
