The Counteracts - The Love That Dare Not Speak Its Name

When I think of how it started, I couldn't stay away
Looking back on how we parted, I miss you every day
Catching only fleeting moments, cannot minimize the pain
Knowing I can never mention, the love that dare not speak its name

You might thing that I'm unfeeling, is that what you believe
'Cos I'm keeping my own counsel, I don't wear my heart on my sleeve
What we had is now a memory, now the sunshine's turned to rain
Buried deep in all-time secrecy, the love that dare not speak its name

You were my pleasure, all my passions were unfurled
My boundaries and my red lines were all crossed
Repent at leisure, all the time now in the world
To work out everything I've lost
I led a double life, but which one's really me
I don't know which way's up, or which way's down
I put a brave face on for all the world to see
I hide the sad face of a clown
Of a clown, I am the clown

The love that dare not speak its name
And now it's not the same, because it's over
The love that dare not speak its name
And I will take the blame, because it's over
The love that dare not speak its name
To my eternal shame, because it's over
The love that dare not speak its name
I can't see you again, because it's all over now
