I Can Keep a Secret

I can keep a secret
I'm the best there is
That's why lovers love me
And also why they leave

To dine in radio silence
Such an ugly way to go
Slower than the quickest kiss
And I kiss very slow

It pounds and pounds
Your head is sore
I won't need you anymore
Than a sailor wants to swim to war

So you heard my siren sounds
For the little fires you struck
Everywhere to be found
But the siren sounds aren't meant for you
It's how I count from the old
To the new

And a secret don't need to be true
No a secret don't need to true

I can keep a secret
I do it very well
I do it so responsibly
Until it feels like hell

Till I'm your favourite polaroid
Tucked down in a drawer
With all those shirts bought for you
But you never wore

It pounds and pounds
Your head's a mess
You don't need me any less
Than a pocket in a wedding dress

So you heard my siren sounds
For the little fires you struck
Everywhere to be found
But the siren sounds aren't meant for you
It's how I count from the old
To the new

And a secret don't need to be true
No a secret don't need to true
