Tell me all your secrets
And I'll tell you one of mine
When memories fade and childhoods
Just a shadow in our minds
When everything's not good enough
And dreams come second-hand
Strip away the artifice
And try to understand

You're all grown up but still so young
And time is on your side
Your youth was full of promises
And nothing was denied
But the world is so much harder now
And nothing's stayed the same
Look into your past and find
The one who was to blame

Lie down on this bed of nails
Pain can make you wiser
The more we learn the more we know
The more it sets us free

Lie down on this bed of nails
Let it make you wiser
And give yourself to me
Give yourself to me

Tell me all your secrets
And I'll tell you two of mine
Pull down the walls you've built up
Let me see what lies behind
The memories you buried there
Beneath a bed of stone
Instead of disappearing
Now they've blossomed and they've grown

You're such a show of confidence
An actor in your play
You know your lines you know your moves
And all the words to say
But I see beyond your sad charade
The hurt that you disguise
Look beneath the surface
Maybe then you'll realize

Lie down on this bed of nails
Pain can make you wiser
The more we learn the more we know
The more it sets us free

Lie down on this bed of nails
Let it make you wiser
And give yourself to me
Give yourself to me
