My secrets
(c) HWBerkhout 2025

I can't help it.  I can't tell them
Will you ever understand?
I must hide them, no one likes them
I call them 'my secrets'.

The secrets in my life, who likes to hear them?
So they stay mine forever
You don't get it if I share them
They will blow your mind

Chorus
No, I don't want them, I don't need them
But they are mine, much too long
No, I can't take it, I don't need them
It's because I'm not that strong

I once shared them with a girlfriend
Within a week that ended
I have mentioned them in a letter
Which still hasn't been sent

Chorus
No, I don't want them, I don't need them
But they are mine, much too long
No, I don't take it, I don't need them
It's because I'm not that strong

Solo

Chorus 2x
Oh, I don't want them, I don't need them
But they are mine, much too long
No, I can't take it, I don't need them
It's because I'm not that strong

No, I don't want them, I don't need them
But they are mine, much too long
No, I can't take it, I don't need them
I know, I'm not so strong...

My Secrets

I compose songs, write lyrics and sing most of them. I don't have  'one'  style. It depends on my mood or on certain issues that are going on in our world. AND some listeners can even tell which songs are genuine 'Birchwood-songs' (!)
