The Holy Secret Lyrics

In the beginning there was you and there was me
We fit perfectly together in harmony
We were bold and we were fire
Inspiration and desire from the start
'Til the world cracked wide and fell apart

In the beginning did we ever disagree?
Did we ever break the stifling serenity?
We were quick to compromise
Lived a thousand harmless lies
But now I know
When the world cracked wide
It let us go

And that's the holy secret
The thing you need to know
You've got to fall to pieces
To let the pieces grow

Strange how things accumulate
One can only hope the stress will tear the bond and break the vessel
Before the loving turns to hate

I am beginning to recover who I am
To discover what's ahead in the world for me
I'm going somewhere
Where it is I couldn't say
But I know that I'll be changing as I make my way
If I feel a little sad
When I think what we once had
It's not a sin
Because when the world cracked wide
It let me in

And that's the holy secret
The thing you need to know
You've got to fall to pieces
To let the pieces grow
To let the pieces grow
To let the pieces grow
