Secrets
Collabro Lyrics

I need another story
I need to share something personal and cathartic.

Something to get off my chest
Something that I've been holding inside for too long, something that's burdening me.

My life gets kinda boring
My everyday life lacks excitement and novelty, which makes me feel unfulfilled.

Need something that I can confess
I crave the chance to be vulnerable and open up to someone about my deepest thoughts and feelings.

'Til all my sleeves are stained red
Until I've completely exposed myself and been transparent with others, even if it's uncomfortable or painful.

From all the truth that I've said
From all the honest and authentic expressions of myself, rather than hiding behind masks or facades.

Come by it honestly I swear
I'm being truthful and genuine, not lying or embellishing for attention or sympathy.

Thought you saw me wink, no
You might have interpreted my behavior as flirtatious or secretive, but I'm really just being myself.

I've been on the brink, so
I've been close to the edge of emotional breakdown or despair, but I'm trying to be resilient and push through it.

Tell me what you want to hear
What kind of response are you hoping for from me, what will make you care or empathize?

Something that will light those ears
Something that will capture your attention and get you invested in my story or feelings.

Sick of all the insincere
Tired of people who are fake or inauthentic, who pretend to care but don't really listen or understand.

This time don't need another perfect lie
I don't want to sugarcoat or hide the truth, I want to be raw and authentic this time.

Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I don't care if people judge or criticize me for being honest or vulnerable, I'm going to share my secrets anyway.

My God, amazing how we got this far
It's incredible to think about how much we've achieved and grown, considering all the challenges and obstacles we've faced.

It's like we're chasing all those stars
We're always striving for something better or greater, even if it seems unattainable or distant.

Who's driving shiny big black cars
Who are the people at the top, the ones who seem to have it all and make it look easy?

And everyday I see the news
Every day I'm reminded of all the problems and injustices in the world.

All the problems that we could solve
All of the issues and challenges that we have the power to make a difference on.

And when a situation rises
When a crisis or conflict emerges.

Just write it into an album
Express it through music or art, channel it into something creative and powerful.

Send it straight to gold
Create something that resonates with people and becomes a huge success.

But I don't really like my flow, no, so
But I'm not completely satisfied with my own creative process or output, I feel like there's room for improvement.

Got no reason, got no shame
I don't have any particular reason for being so open or forthcoming, I just feel compelled to share.

Got no family I can blame
I can't deflect responsibility or fault onto my family or upbringing.

Just don't let me disappear
Just don't ignore or forget me, even if what I'm sharing is difficult or unsettling.

I'ma tell you everything
I'm going to be completely transparent and honest, holding nothing back.

All my secrets away
Revealing every hidden or private aspect of myself, without shame or reservation.
