Keep It A Secret

Its ok, if you need to pretend
for all of your friends
that you don't even miss me,
if that's what helps you sleep at night.
And its alright, if you need to be mean,
and blame me for everything,
and swear that you don't want me,
if thats what helps you keep your pride
But I know when you close your door,
and I'm not there to make dinner for,
and you'll have to eat on your own again,
and you'll have to sleep all alone again..
you know, honey, you know i know,
you'll be wanting me,
but I'll keep it a secret,
if you need it to be.
And its ok,
not to see me at all,
and screen out my phone calls,
and swear you never loved me,
if thats what gets you through the day.
And its alright,
if you found someone new to try to make love to,
and make sure you forget me,
if it helps to be that way
Cause I know when she's in your bed,
and she can't do the things I did,
you'll close your eyes,
and you'll pretend,
but that won't be enough,
and thats why..
you know, honey, you know I know,
you'll be wanting me,
but I'll keep it a secret,
