I Can’t Tell You

I can't tell you
I can't tell you the secrets of my heart

You're just a book with a million hapless chapters
I could borrow for hours, but I won't, I won't
'Cause after I read the pages, I'll just feel so terrible
After only wishing for an ending and no happily ever after

Maybe you're just a magazine as thin as a letter
'Cause there really aren't many pages and your ? is so much better
You're no closed book, but I cannot afford disaster
But that must've been what I was after when I took what I took

So I can't tell you
I can't tell you the secrets of my heart
I can't tell you, I can't
I can't tell you
I can't tell you the secrets of my heart
I can't tell you, I can't

I love my friends, they never hide their secrets
Always writing beautiful melodies for people who aren't worth it

What's inside you?
Do you even know what moves you?
I don't think so

I can't tell you
I can't tell you the secrets of my heart
I can't tell you, I can't
I can't tell you
I can't tell you the secrets of my heart
I can't tell you, I can't
I, I, I
I can't tell you
I can't tell you the secrets of my heart
