lyrics

it's getting hot inside my head, i try to take control
feels like what's missing ain't the button, but the hole
and i just can't figure out what's bothering me so
is it all in my mind?

you change the subject, wish my eyes were as glazed
or at least that this was just some stupid phase
no i don't think you're stealing, we just think alike these days
but you act on it first

you just keep your secrets, i'll hold on to mine
it's too bad we can't make it work
too bad we won't even try
i say it's just our ego
really it's just mine
you keep your secrets and i will keep mine

so does this mean we're gonna have to do without
each other's minds 'cause i have my doubts
please don't ask that awful question,
"what are you thinking about?"
well i wish i could tell you.

you just keep your secrets, i'll hold on to mine
it's too bad we can't make it work
too bad we won't even try
i say it's just our ego
really it's just mine
you keep your secrets and i will keep mine

i wish i weren't jealous of the way you use your words
i'd rather not be just some other mockingbird
and i wish i could excuse myself to another avenue
'cause i wanna be your muse, but i wanna create too.

it's a sad conclusion, doesn't quite make sense
if we're gonna build a partnership, how can we build a fence
but i've got to tell you, babe, in my defense,
i can't tell you a thing.

you just keep your secrets, i'll hold on to mine
it's too bad we can't make it work
too bad we won't even try
i say it's just our ego
really it's just mine
you keep your secrets and i will keep mine

about

Brigid Kaelin Louisville

A "plucky redhead," a "genre-defying vaudeville rocker," and an "amazing multi-instrumentalist," Brigid Kaelin is a full-on entertainer. You've read her blog, heard her on the BBC and on NPR's "A Prairie Home Companion," seen her play accordion with Elvis Costello, and laughed and cried at her original alt-country cabaret songs. Maybe it's time to buy her albums? ... more
