Secrets
Cam Monroe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah it's hard to understand when i think like i do
Hmm, maybe i just don't get it
It seems like i have always been a goodie two shoes
I've never tried to do no wrong but boy i'd try to prove it to you
I thought i'd get it
Everybody's got secrets hidden in the palm of their hands
Take it from me i'm not always who i wanna be
Honestly honesty is the hardest game to play
I alwyas try to figure out the perfect things to say
To make it seem like i am exactly who i'm supposed to be but
This game that i've tried to play is gonna end up killing me oh
I think i get it, yeah
Am i the only one who knows who i am
Everybody's got secrets hidden in the palm of their hands
Take it from me i'm not who i wanna be yet
Oh can't you see that we're all the same
We've all got fears and people to blame
We all fight our selfish pride
Listen to me you don't have to hide
Are you the only one who knows who you are
Everybody's got secrets tucked in the back of their hearts
Take it from me, i'm not always who i wanna be
Are you who you wanna be?
The lyrics to Cam Monroe's song Secrets delve deep into the theme of self-identity and the struggle of being true to oneself. The singer expresses confusion about why they have what they do and why they sometimes find it hard to understand themselves. Despite being a self-proclaimed "goodie two shoes," the singer admits to having secrets hidden in the palm of their hands like everyone else. The song touches on the pressure to be perfect and the difficulty of playing the game of honesty. It ends with a hopeful message that we're all the same and don't have to hide from our true selves.
Overall, the lyrics are a commentary on how societal expectations can shape our identity, and how we all struggle to be true to ourselves despite those expectations. It highlights that everyone has secrets they keep tucked away, and that we should be more accepting and understanding of those around us who are also grappling with the concept of self-identity.

Occasionally, I don't comprehend why I possess the things I have
Yeah it's hard to understand when i think like i do
It's a challenge to fathom what I'm thinking all the time
Hmm, maybe i just don't get it
Perhaps I don't comprehend it at all
It seems like i have always been a goodie two shoes
I'm like I've always been a well-behaved person
I've never tried to do no wrong but boy i'd try to prove it to you
I've never attempted to do anything wrong, but I'll strive to prove that to you
I thought i'd get it
I imagined I would understand it
Am i the only one who knows who i am
Is it only me who knows their true identity?
Everybody's got secrets hidden in the palm of their hands
Most people have secrets hidden in their hands
Take it from me i'm not always who i wanna be
Believe me, I'm not always who I aspire to become
Honestly honesty is the hardest game to play
Truly, honesty is the toughest game to play
I always try to figure out the perfect things to say
I'm always trying to come up with the perfect words to say
To make it seem like i am exactly who i'm supposed to be but
To make it appear that I'm precisely who I'm expected to be but
This game that i've tried to play is gonna end up killing me oh
This game I've attempted to play will ruin me eventually
I think i get it, yeah
I believe I understand it now
Oh can't you see that we're all the same
Can't you perceive that we're all identical
We've all got fears and people to blame
We all have things to be scared of and people to pin the blame on
We all fight our selfish pride
We all struggle with our egoistic pride
Listen to me you don't have to hide
Hear me out; you don't need to cover up anything
Are you the only one who knows who you are
Are you the sole person who knows their true identity?
Everybody's got secrets tucked in the back of their hearts
Most people hide secrets in their hearts
Take it from me, i'm not always who i wanna be
Believe me, I don't always become who I aspire to be
Are you who you wanna be?
Do you become the person you aspire to become?
