Secrets
#One Republic Lyrics

I need another story
I have a secret that I need to confess, something that I want to get off my chest.

Something to get off my chest
I have been keeping something inside me, and I need to reveal it to someone.

My life gets kinda boring
My everyday existence is dull and uneventful, and I need some excitement in my life.

Need something that I can confess
I am looking for someone to confide in, someone that I can trust with my secret.

Til' all my sleeves are stained red
I have disclosed so much truth that my clothes are stained red, a metaphor for being honest and transparent.

From all the truth that I've said
I have admitted to a lot of truth, and I am ready to reveal more.

Come by it honestly I swear
I have not fabricated or embellished my secret; it is genuine and honest.

Thought you saw me wink, no
If you thought that I was flirting or being sarcastic, then you were wrong. It was unintentional.

I've been on the brink, so
I have almost reached the point of no return, and I am afraid that I might make a mistake.

Tell me what you want to hear
Please tell me what you want me to reveal, what kind of secret you are interested in.

Something that will light those ears
I am searching for something thrilling and interesting to share with you, something that will keep you engaged and entertained.

Sick of all the insincere
I am tired of all the false and deceitful people around me, and I want to be genuine and honest.

I'm gonna give all my secrets away
I am ready to disclose everything that I have kept as a secret, with no restrictions.

This time, don't need another perfect lie
I do not want to embellish my story or make it more interesting, and I want to be sincere in my confession.

Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I am not concerned about the opinions or judgment of others, even if they criticize me or do not agree with my actions.

My God, amazing how we got this far
It is incredible how far we have reached in life, despite the challenges and obstacles we have faced.

It's like we're chasing all those stars
We are constantly striving for success and happiness, like chasing after the stars in the sky.

Who's driving shiny big black cars
We are envious and wondering about the people who have achieved financial success and drive luxury cars.

And everyday I see the news
Everyday, I read or watch the news and see the problems and issues that we face as a society.

All the problems that we could solve
We have the potential to solve these problems, but we need to take action and be proactive about it.

And when a situation rises
When a problem or challenge arises, we should not ignore it, but instead, face it head-on and find a solution.

Just write it into an album
One way to express our emotions and experiences is to create art, such as writing songs or poems.

Send it straight to gold
When our art resonates with others, it can become popular and successful, which is a great achievement.

I don't really like my flow, no, so
I don't feel confident in my songwriting skills and style, but I still want to express my thoughts and feelings.

Got no reason, got no shame
I have no rational explanation or justification for my actions or thoughts, and I am not ashamed of it.

Got no family I can't blame
I have no one to blame for my situation or problems, not even my family.

Just don't let me disappear
I am afraid of being forgotten or ignored, and I want to be heard and acknowledged.

I'mma tell you everything
I am going to be completely honest and open with you, and reveal everything that I have kept as a secret.

So tell me what you want to hear
Please tell me what kind of secret or story you are interested in hearing, and I will reveal it to you.

Something that'll light those ears
I want to share something that will captivate and excite you, and keep you engaged and interested.

This time, don't need another perfect lie
I do not want to deceive you or create a false story, and I want to be honest and sincere in my confession.

Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I am not concerned about the opinions or judgment of others, and I am willing to face criticism or negative feedback.

All my secrets away, all my secrets away
I am ready to reveal everything that I have kept as a secret, with no restrictions.
