Cover art for Secret Garden lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

I think it's about a girl, who seems to be absolutely perfect, everything the guys has dreamt of, but in the end she's just as insecure as anyone, she just hides it better. Deep down inside she is scared or completely opening up to him, although she knows he loves him truly, her heart refuses to believe it, so, she keeps leading him on, making him think that she will open up to him, but just in a split second she runs away again(but she knows he will always follow, so she just keeps doing that)
