[Verse 1] she texts me late, says “don’t say a word” slips in quiet like she’s done this before his picture lights up on her screen by the bed but she’s got her nails in my skin instead [Chorus] she’s the secret i can’t stop keeping burns my throat every time i’m breathing when the doors are shut we’re both wide open when the world looks in, it’s never spoken yeah, we’re fire they can’t see and i like it burning quietly [Verse 2] her laugh is sharp when she tells me “stop” but her hips don’t lie when she’s on top she says she’s his, but her eyes don’t agree every lie she tells tastes holy to me [Verse 3] she leaves her jacket where he might find a thread of my shirt still caught inside we’re both playing with a loaded gun but i love the risk more than anyone [Chorus] she’s the secret i can’t stop keeping carves me up , call me a heathen when the doors are shut we’re both wide open when the world looks in, it’s never spoken yeah, we’re fire they can’t see and i like it burning quietly [Verse 4] she calls me out when i try to hide says, “you love it more when it’s all denied” i don’t argue, i just let her win her mouth on mine tastes like sin [Verse 5] he still believes every word she says while she’s tangled up in my unmade bed i should feel guilty, i should let go but the truth is i don’t want him to know [Bridge] oh— we’re a secret that could wreck the room but i pray it never sees the light too soon if it kills me, i’ll still dive right in ’cause forbidden feels better than innocent [Final Chorus] she’s the secret i can’t stop keeping burns me raw but i keep repeating when the doors are shut we’re both wide open when the world looks in, it’s never spoken yeah, we’re fire they can’t see and i like it burning quietly
