[Verse 1] I keep it locked up tight Under my ribs tonight A name burns on my tongue But I bite it back, I bite it My mother reads my face My brother scans the space I smile and say I'm fine But my hands keep shaking [Pre-Chorus] If they ask, I lie If they press, I smile One word and I'm gone One word and I'm found [Chorus] Only me Only me I know the secret Only me Only me His name is a spark in me M, M That's the code I keep M, M And nobody hears me [Verse 2] His sleeve caught on my book His laugh made me look I learned his name in flashes Now it lives in my skin At dinner I stay still Like silence is a shield They would never let me say What my heart already chose [Pre-Chorus] If they ask, I lie If they press, I smile One word and I'm gone One word and I'm found [Chorus] Only me Only me I know the secret Only me Only me His name is a spark in me M, M That's the code I keep M, M And nobody hears me [Bridge] I carry it like fire Pinned beneath my shirt I won't hand it over Not for their good word Let them call me careful Let them call me strange I can hear his name Like thunder in my veins [Final Chorus] Only me Only me I know the secret Only me Only me His name is a spark in me M, M That's the code I keep M, M And nobody hears me Only me Only me I keep it buried deep Only me Only me Till I decide who sees
