I swallowed a secret it worked like a charm
It never got to me it did me no harm
The first time was easy but this time it kills
'Cause the secret broke open and the poison has spilled

I walked it through customs like nothing to hide
The secret I carry is hidden inside
But inside it busted started burning like hell
Like truth under pressure burning to tell

And I know in my soul that it's poison
This secret I carry inside
And I know it will cut and tear at my gut 'till I die
My little white lie

There are secrets you carry; it's what we all do
You keep them well hidden. You smuggle them through
Like something unspoken, like that lump in your throat
You choke it down quickly like a crumpled up note

In my gut I can feel it: my little white lie
It made me feel daring; it made me feel high
But the secret's not keeping. It all comes apart
And the poison is speaking straight to my heart
