about

Have you ever trusted someone so much only to find out that they took advantage of your trust, leaving you in ruins? That's what Secrets is about. It's a song full of anger and betrayal.

lyrics

Back in high school
You and I were one in the same
Skipping class to
Hit the road and make an escape

Swapping secrets by the side of the bay
Talking about all our most embarrassing days
I thought that with you that my words would be safe
But recently I knew that something had changed

You said
That you were
The only one that knew that
So give me
A reason
To give you any trust back

I was an island
I was bearing all the pain on my own
Your lifeboat provided
Me a way to make it to shore
Telling you was a weight off my chest
Maybe someday I'll live like the rest
I didn't realize
That by telling you I was taking a chance

You said
That you were
The only one that knew that
So give me
A reason
To give you any trust back

Cause Secrets are the only thing I ever wanted
My Secret is the only thing I ever wanted back

You're the only the that I wanted (x2)
You're the only thing that I wanted back

You said
That you were
The only one that knew that
So give me
A reason
To give you any trust back

Cause Secrets are the only thing I ever wanted
My Secret is the only thing I ever wanted back
