Secret Willow

Verse 1

We started dating under the willow tree

July spillin sun on our tangled knees

You carved our names in the yellow bark

Whispered forever while my heart took the spark that moment felt like heaven [Chorus]

I see you sitting in the sunlight

Sugar on your tongue and that old summer dress

You kept saying you were different now

Turns out you were just like all the rest

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

All the rest

Oh oh oh

Verse 2

You played your part with a soft gaze

Spun your stories slow like honey on a spoon

All the while you held another hand

Promised me the moon but left me way too soon

Pre-Chorus

Guess a gentle smile can hide the sharpest lies

I believed each word when I looked in your eyes

Chorus

I see you sitting in the sunlight

Sugar on your tongue and that old summer dress

You kept saying you were different now

Turns out you were just like all the rest

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh

All the rest

Oh oh oh

Bridge

I recall the way you lingered on the porch at night

Cold words dressed up warm, hiding what you’d done

I replay the evenings, every careless lie

Wondering how I could have been the only one

Verse 3

Laces untied on your favorite shoes

Leaving tiny clues I never thought to read

Now the truth walks barefoot through my open door

Guess loving you was always bound to mislead

Chorus

I I see you sitting in the moonlight

Sugar on your tongue and that old summer dress

You kept saying you were different now

Turns out you were just like all the rest [Post-Chorus]

Oh oh oh

All the rest

Oh oh

Now I see you laughing with someone new

Underneath the willow by the riverside

How easy you let everything slip away

Just another secret you forgot to hide
