Lyrics

Verse one

if i kept a diary
that wouore`e just one more thing
to stop me in my tracks
nostalgia keeps me comin back
if i kept a diary
and our parents haven't found it
and if you knew we're not we'd be fired
as their sons and daughters
i will not keep a diary
because someone would might read it
i have a fear of being found out
as someone who does not need it

chorus:
I will not write things down
I will not write this down
 
verse two

If i kept a diary
it would not be published
in the manner of anne frank
writing from her attic deck
if i kept a diary
i fear that you might find it
and ridicule for all times
for even having tried it

end chorus;
I will not write things down
I will not write this down
