[Verse 1]

Throw yourself back, you were better back then

But then you started to play dumb and you started to pretend

You say a lot of words but they don't make sense

No, I think I'm better off by myself in the end

It's time now to drop off, home at 3 o'clock in the morning

And I'm still alone with you

It's never a good idea to show what you have in your mind

And you're all alone with me too

[Pre-Chorus]

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

[Chorus]

Keep your secrets to yourself

And put me high up on a shelf

Look at me when you walk by

Just enough to make me cry

Make me cry

[Verse 2]

A sidewalk's cracks, you step on my back

And you look away as the bones begin to crack

Keep me healthy, keep me strong

Don't keep me with you all day long

You're hurting me, don't look at me

Don't look at me, don't look at me

[Pre-Chorus]

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

[Chorus]

Keep your secrets to yourself

And put me high up on a shelf

Look at me when you walk by

Just enough to make me cry

[Bridge]

Now listen, you're a very talented individual

Make it seem like you care when you couldn't care less

It's pretty impressive

And I never would've guessed that all this time

I was just the one who'd watch from the sidelines

While you ran off with somebody else

But you were never mine to begin with

Just a dream of mine that I live with everyday

And it eats away at whatever made me think you were any good

In the first place

I'm over it by now, I'm over you

And all the excuses that you couldn't love me

I just wish you never told me

[Chorus]

Keep your secrets to yourself

And put me high up on a shelf

Look at me when you walk by

Just enough to make me cry

Make me cry
