i'll let you in on a little secret
i think you should know
when i let you go,
i knew my friends would turn to foes
they said, "don't give up, she's good people
stood by your side, nothin' to hide,
and gave you a sense of pride"

but they won't get through to me
and i see much better now that
you're gone

here's another little secret
they won't want to hear
i'm done living in fear - feeling guilty for being here
they said, "realize you're only human,
born with the sin of man
it's all part of the plan - so repent or be damned!"

and i said they won't get through to me
and i see much better now that
you're gone

i'll let you in on a little secret
i think you all should know
i feel the tension grow
and i think its gonna blow

and you won't get through to me
and i see much better now that
you're gone
