Secret by Emily Merrell Lyrics
Like a snake that’s hiding in the dark—never moving
Tightly in his coil he waits, tasting the air
Like a tiger pacing through the trees, silently
His footsteps growing nearer—steady, soft, he creeps
Though my eyes are close and still, I am not asleep
Haunted by this secret I cannot stand to keep
Like a spider in the web you weave
You will never know I am watching you—waiting to speak
Tightly in his coil he waits, tasting the air
Like a tiger pacing through the trees, silently
His footsteps growing nearer—steady, soft, he creeps
Though my eyes are close and still, I am not asleep
Haunted by this secret I cannot stand to keep
Like a spider in the web you weave
You will never know I am watching you—waiting to speak
