Secrets Billy Strings

[Verse 1]
Something cold like what I stuck around to fight through
It gets feeling tougher every day
I feel like everybody likes to run their mouth
But can't decide on what it is they're tryin' to say
There's nothing wrong with hearin' voices
Even when they're in your dreams
And if you'd listen in, tomorrow could be better than it seems

[Verse 2]
I used to think I couldn't even count my blessings
But now I know they're few and far between
And when I look at my reflection in the mirror
I can see some man I've never even seen
The wasted life I left behind me
Was just a war I couldn't win
I'm the devil's guest of honor, that's the best it's ever been

[Chorus]
Little said is soonest mended
Without a wing a word could fly a thousand miles
I'd rather be abandoned or alone
Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind

[Verse 3]
I know a man whose pain is heavy like an anchor
And it drags him to the bottom of the sea
His cloudy eyes are often lost behind a daydream
Or frozen in some broken memory
But I've never heard him speak about what happened
He'll never say what laid him low
There are secrets that we carry that are ours to bare alone
