Kept It All to Myself Songtext
von The Weather Station

Kept it all to myself
Kept it all to myself
Kept it all to myself

There were days when the luminescence of the skies
Or the deep brown grasses struck me so hard
And only leave me, I can hardly take it, that light feeling
I rode up past St. Clair, same old city, but it could have been anywhere
And the scent of the air so exotic, every thought like I never have thought it
And I felt that confidence in me like a child in a strange new body

I kept it all to myself
I kept it all to myself
I kept it all to myself


Sometimes I loved you unadulterated, purely
Untouched by doubt or by my memory
Sometimes I loved you in a shadowed way
Windscreen clearing but still streaked with gray
Sometimes we held hands like we were children
And I′d never known anything different
Like I'd never known anything different
Like I′d never known

I tried to leave you, I left only myself
Before I knew it, I was down in the well
Sometimes I felt like I was floating
High by the ceiling as we were just talking
And kind faces would change on me
Eyes and nose and mouth, unfamiliar assembly

I kept it all to myself
I kept it all to myself
I kept it all to myself

I got so tired of all of the subtext
The subtleties and the minute regrets
You were smiling like you thought I couldn't see you
Like you're afraid of what I might reveal in you
Is it better if I look away? If all I know, I never do say?

My love is the heaviest thing
I understand if you don′t want to wear my ring
My love is the heaviest thing
So, I kept it all to myself


You would think I had so much wealth
If I kept it all to myself
If I kept it all to myself
To myself

I kept it all to myself
Kept it all to myself
Kept it all to myself

Kept it all to myself
I kept it all to myself
I kept it all to myself
I kept it all to myself
