Big Dark Secret

Words and music ©2002 by Dave Caruso

This is how it starts--
All tangled up in reason
It shouldn't be so hard
To find someone to believe in
You're too smart
Use your heart

Cause too much thinking is our one true weakness
Temporary sweetness slips away
And fear of losing is your big dark secret
Wise up, or you'll give yourself away

What good are all these gauges
If you can't take a reading?
You've got all the answers
But can't figure out your feelings
Haven't you
Got a clue?

Cause too much thinking is our one true weakness
Temporary sweetness slips away
And fear of losing is your big dark secret
Wise up, or you'll give yourself away

Lately meaning's meaning less
Your house is in order, your heart's a mess
If you can't be sure, well, then take a guess
You can always settle later for Mr. Second-best

The evidence is in
You haven’t even read it
Take it for a spin
Or you can just forget it
Don’t say no
Just let go

And show me, show me, show me your one true weakness
Tell me, tell me, tell me your big dark secret
