Faking the dream, the true American grit I'll admit, I'm a bit of a mess 'Cause I'm fragile and tired, wounded and weak And my words are a useless defense You put your palm out and spit, like a proud idiot Gave a speech, and then charmed me to bed If only I could exist without it leaving my lips And my touch was enough to confess All the ways I say it In a secret language Did you hear what my words couldn't tell? I keep it all to myself Well, the anthem is dead, so I send you a song To believe, with a hand on my chest But I don't think it's funny, no honey I'm truly sincere, and I'm trying my best Arms over armor, you're going in deep Fell asleep with our bodies undressed It's so hard to let go, it's so hard to let in But you seduce what I always suppress All the ways I say it In a secret language Did you hear what my words couldn't tell? I love you, I say it In a secret language Did you hear what my words couldn't tell? I keep it all to myself All the ways I say it In a secret language Did you hear what my words couldn't tell? I love you, I say it In a secret language Did you hear what my words couldn't tell? I keep it all to myself
