Secret Book

I peeked inside your secret book--
the one you tried to hide,
where you confessed to all your crimes

I couldn’t help but take a look
though I knew what I would find
would burn my eyes or strike me blind.

I couldn’t help but take a look
though I knew what I would find
would break my heart and blow my mind.

Though I knew what I would find
would burn my eyes or strike me blind.

I peeked inside your secret book--
The one you tried to hide,
the one you threw into the fire.

I couldn’t help but take a look,
though I knew what I would find
would break my heart and blow my mind.

I couldn’t help but take a look,
so imagine my surprise
when there was not a word inside.

There was not a word inside.
It broke my heart and blew my mind.
