Double

Happened so fast, you don't know how you got here
But here you are, there's no way out
Ignorance is bliss, but you've got lots of knowledge
It makes you want to scream and shout
And now you're walking on a very narrow ledge
Watch your step or you might fall
'cause suddenly nobody is the way you remember
and you're the best example of all
(chorus)
I've got a secret, I know something about you
I wish I had a safe place to go
I've got a secret, I know something about you
I wish I didn't know what I know
Friends you thought were foes, foes you thought were friends
No one's on the up-and-up
They've been known to poison, are you gonna swallow
What they put into your cup
They wanna buy your silence like a diamond ring
For now you'll let them think that they've won
And now your existence hangs by a thread
Precarious in more ways than one
I've got a secret, I know something about you
I wish I had a safe place to go
I've got a secret, I know something about you
I wish I didn't know what I know
(instrumental)
(bridge)
I'm glad, you're mad, I didn't mean to burst your bubble
too bad, so sad, it looks like you're in some trouble
(double)
Now everywhere you go it seems you're not alone
And before you speak you think twice
And the best way to navigate the winding road
Is to follow Daddy's advice
It feels like a no-win situation
But somewhere out there someone cares
And if you ask him he'll be more than happy
To go with you anywhere
I've got a secret, I know something about you
I wish I had a safe place to go
I've got a secret, I know something about you
I wish I didn't know what I know
I've got a secret, I know something about you
I wish I had a safe place to go
I've got a secret, I know something about you
I wish I didn't know what I know
(ad lib. over chorus several times)
I've got a secret, I know something about you
I wish I had a safe place to go
I've got a secret, I know something about you
I wish I didn't know what I know
I've got a secret…(repeat and fade)
