One Thing {First Draft Song Version}

I'm thinking a piano-based, very open and uncluttered layout. Then at some point it will get more intense, but not too much, just a bit.



There’s one thing I’ve never told anyone
Sometimes I forget myself
And whether I’m protecting myself
Or someone else
You’ll never know
It’s the one thing I’ll never tell

It’s keeps house in the back of my mind
Don’t you think it’s coming to the door this time
I must apologize –an impersonal confession
I’m holding back, growing bark around the entrance
If time could only erase
These things I never will say

Oh, ho ho
When people ask “Can you truly keep a secret?”
There’s only trust
Because I can’t show
The one thing I’ve been safely keeping
{Faithfully, believe me;
It takes a toll and its secrecy
Leaves people with a view of me
No better—
Though, faithfully I bear}

The one thing I’ve never told anyone
Sometimes I forget myself
And whether I’m protecting myself
Or someone else
You’ll never know
It’s the one thing I’ll never tell
