Secrets by ONeRepublic

I need another story

Something to get off my chest

My life gets kinda boring

Need something that I can confess

^they're looking for something they can do or say to get in the news

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

^trying to commit suicide? but not "actually" trying, like they're faking it to get attention

Tell me what you want from here

Something that'll light those ears

Sick of all the insincere

So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don't need another perfect line

Don't care if critics never jump in line

I'm gonna give all my secrets away

^they don't know what else to do to get people to listen to their music, even music critics, so they're just going to do or say anything to get in the news

My god, amazing how we got this far

It's like we're chasing all those stars

Who's driving shiny big black cars

^?

And everyday I see the news

All the problems that we could solve

And when a situation rises

Just write it into an album

^they are willing to take advantage of disasters, etc. to sell albums by writing songs about them

Singing straight, too cold

I don't really like my flow, no, so

^?

Tell me what you want from here

Something that'll light those ears

Sick of all the insincere

So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don't need another perfect line

Don't care if critics never jump in line

I'm gonna give all my secrets away

Oh, got no reason, got not shame

Got no family I can blame

Just don't let me disappear

Imma tell you everything

^they're going to tell all of their secrets for the publicity, but they can't blame it on anyone else

So tell me what you want from here

Something that'll light those ears

Sick of all the insincere

So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don't need another perfect line

Don't care if critics never jump in line

I'm gonna give all my secrets away

So tell me what you want from here

Something that'll light those ears

Sick of all the insincere

So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don't need another perfect line

Don't care if critics never jump in line

I'm gonna give all my secrets away

All my secrets away, All my secrets away
