Keep It to Yourself
Secrets in the Shadows: Unveiling the Silent Melodies of 'Keep It to Yourself'
Lyrics
I've been sleeping on my own
I've been sleeping alone since you've been gone.
Ever since you've been away
While you've been absent, you've been traveling extensively.
You've been moving all around
You returned today.
You cam home today
Maybe you've been with someone you met after a performance.
Well maybe you've been with someone
Keep any new connections or encounters to yourself.
You met after the show
Keep any new relationships or experiences confidential.
Keep it to yourself
Do not share these details with me.
Keep it to yourself
Keep any information about others or new connections private.
Baby I don't want to know
I prefer not to know about them.
If you're guilty in your heart
If you feel guilty about something,
Just try and hold your tongue
try not to talk about it.
If you want to let it out
If you feel the need to share, reserve it for a song or expression of art.
Baby save it for a song
Save any confessions or revelations for creative outlets.
I don't want your honesty
I'm not interested in your complete honesty.
Or descriptions blow by blow
I don't want detailed accounts or descriptions.
Keep it to yourself
Keep any personal disclosures to yourself.
Keep it to yourself
Keep private matters undisclosed.
Baby I don't want to know
I'd rather not be informed about them.
Look around you, we're living in amazing times
We are in an incredible era.
They're not so important, your little crimes
Your small indiscretions or misdeeds are insignificant in this context.
I've been sleeping on my own
I've been sleeping alone as a routine.
But I don't sleep all of the time
Though I'm alone, I don't sleep continuously.
Twenty-four hours in one day
A day has 24 hours, and I spend only a portion of it sleeping.
And sleeping's only nine
Sleeping isn't the primary activity; there's ample time without you.
There are many places in the sun
There are plenty of opportunities and places where you're not present.
And many corners without you
There are many spaces where your presence isn't felt.
Keep it to yourself
Do not divulge information about your whereabouts or experiences.
Keep it to yourself
Keep your secrets confidential,
And I'll keep my secrets too
and I'll maintain mine as well.
