Secrets Lyrics

I need another story
Somethin' to get off my chest
My life gets kinda boring
Need somethin' that I can confess
'Til all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly, I swear
Thought you saw me wink, no
I've been on the brink

So tell me what you want to hear
Somethin' that'll light those ears
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

My God, amazing how we got this far
It's like we're chasin' all those stars
Who's drivin' shiny, big, black cars
And everyday I see the news
All the problems, bet we could solve 'em
When a situation rises
Just write it into an album
Send it straight to gold
But I don't really like my flow, no

So tell me what you want to hear
Somethin' that'll light those ears
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

Ooh, got no reason, got no shame
Got no family I can blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'ma tell you everything

So tell me what you want to hear
Somethin' that'll light those ears
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

So tell me what you want to hear
Somethin' that'll light those ears
I'm sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

All my secrets away
All my secrets away

The repetition of giving 'all my secrets away' underscores this yearning for honesty and transparency. Furthermore, references to societal pressures such as 'the perfect lie' and critics 'jumping in line' highlight the scrutiny faced by individuals, particularly those in the public eye. Ultimately, it is a powerful commentary on personal freedom and the courage it takes to be one's authentic self amidst external judgment and criticism.
