lyrics

When the hair on the back of yr neck stands up at the click of a door
When you bristle at the mention of a name of a friend that you've never heard of before

The truth won't set you free (if you don't want it to)
But yr secret's safe with me (if my secret's safe with you)

When you shrink & you shrivel in the salt & you sink to the bottom on your knees
Evil is the beauty that surrenders your heart
Evil only smiles when you do as you please

The truth won't set you free (if you don't want it to)
But yr secret's safe with me (if my secret's safe with you)

The earthquake's just the start
It leads to aftershocks
Fault lines, not yr fault
The shaking never stops

Tell me I was wrong for holding on so long
For showing you my heart, for loving you so hard
Tell me I was wrong for holding on so long
My shame was just too strong to ask you to return
