  • I'll never tell you what I saw
    Or how it made me breathe.
    I'll never repeat what I heard
    How long it took me to leave.
    I'll never tell you what I saw
    Or how it made my smile freeze
    Cause this world is a whirlwind, but I'm holding that trapeze
    And I'll never tell you what I saw

    I'll never tell you who I loved
    Or how they made me free
    I'll never tell you how I slept
    Back when I was 15
    I thought that I could just forget
    The bricks that have built me
    But this world is a whirlwind and I'm holding that trapeze
    And I'll never tell you who I loved

    But if I could tell you one thing
    I would tell you I'm not leaving
    If I could show you one thing
    All my mistakes have shaped me
    Into who I am
    And who I am just wants to make you home

    I'll never tell you why I drive
    Into the night and back again
    I hardly speak of my hometown
    My little hands in the cement
    I'll never tell you what I saw, close the door, swallow the key
    But this world is a whirlwind and I'm holding that trapeze
    Ya this world keeps on turning, love is carried in a sling
    Ya this world is a whirlwind and I'm holding that trapeze.
    So I'll never tell you what I saw Writer/s: DAVID HARRIS, DAVID HODGES, DIA FRAMPTON
