	Story Behind the Song A few years ago, a close friend told me that she was physically abused by her boyfriend. She told me not to tell anyone but I feared that if I didn't get help, the abuse might go too far. This song is about loyalty, keeping secrets, and saving lives. I chose to talk to a counselor about my friend and got the confidential help she needed. She left her boyfriend and is alive and well. The girl, Julie, in "I Never Told a Soul", wasn't as lucky. Confidential help and counseling is available to abuse victims. There is always someone available to help and listen. I hope this song encourages people to seek confidential help for abuse. Talking about abuse saves lives. Lyrics Second grade with Mrs. Miller In a jar was a caterpillar One day somebody set it free I found Julie hidin' in a corner She was in trouble and I tried to warn her She said I swear it wasnt me Chorus I said Julie you can trust me This is something theyll never know Its our secret, to keep forever And Ill never tell a soul She loved Billy I loved Joe Then one night at the drive-in show Julie said that Billy went too far She put my hand on a stack of bibles And made me swear to God that I was Not to tell what happened in that car Chorus Julie lost Billys baby He was drinkin' a lot the day he Got mad, she fell to the floor She told me she lived every day in fear I could see her fightin' tears She said I cant tell you anymore Chorus Julie finally made a decision She tried to leave now Billys in prison Guess you could say he set her free Lookin back at all I knew If Id found someone to tell it to Julie might still be here with me but I said Julie you can trust me This is something they'll never know It's our secret, to keep forever And I'll never tell a soul And, I never told a soul...
