Missy Higgins, "Secret"
(2007)

You were from the north, I was from the south
We were from opposite places, different towns
But I knew it was good and you knew it was too
So we moved together like a ball and chain
Minds becoming two halves of the same
It was real, but in shadows it grew

'Cause you've got a secret don't you babe?

I would've shouted loud and broken through
I would've given it all to belong to you
But there were different plans, different rules
You said "where I'm from there is a lock and key
If you'd be so kind as to follow me
I will show you the way to the rest of my sins"

'Cause you've got a secret don't you babe?
Yeah you, you got a secret don't you babe?
And I should know
Yeah I should know

So this room was damp where your sins laid
There was that smell in the air of an old place
That hadn't seen much daylight in years
And you threw me down, said, "If ya don't mind
I'm gonna leave you here until night time
Then we can do what we want my baby out of the spotlight"

'Cause you've got a secret don't you babe?
Yeah you, you got a secret don't you babe?
And I should know
Yeah I should know
For I'm your secret aren't I babe?
Yeah I'm your secret aren't I babe?
Aren't I babe?

Big ups to Lauren for suggesting this one and pointing out that it's probably about being in the closet. I wholeheartedly agree.
