Danielle Bradbery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You knew what I thought about all my friends when they weren't around
You knew which days I was praying, the days that I wasn't
I told you everything
'Cause you were my human diary
So when you left, you didn't just leave
No, you took all my secrets with you
And now you're with someone else
And thinking 'bout it hurts like hell
And you got all my secrets with you
You took all my secrets with you
You knew how to make me weak in a good way and in a bad
You knew the up's and down's in my relationship with my dad
Oh, and damn how I hate it
That you know me naked
I gave you everything
'Cause you were my human diary
So when you left, you didn't just leave
No, you took all my secrets with you
You took all my secrets with you
And now you're with someone else
And thinking 'bout it hurts like hell
'Cause you got all my secrets with you
You took all my secrets with you
Now you've got a piece of the secret parts of me
Now all my secrets are in another girl's bed
You were my human diary
So when you left, you didn't just leave
No, you took all my my secrets with you
You took all my secrets with you
Yeah, you took all my secrets with you
You took all my secrets with you, oh
Yeah, you took all my secrets with you
You took all my secrets with you, oh

Human Diary (Lyrics)
You knew which parts of my body I wasn’t secure about
You knew what I thought about all my friends when they weren’t around
You knew which days I was praying
the days that I wasn’t, I told you everything
Cause you were my human diary
So when you left, you didn’t just leave
No you took all my secrets with you,
You took all my secrets with you
And now you’re with someone else
and thinking about it hurts like hell
And you got all my secrets with you,
You took all my secrets with you
You knew how to make me weak in a good way and in a bad
You knew the ups and the downs in my relationship with my dad
Oh and damn how I hate it
That you know me naked
I gave you everything
Cause you were my human diary
So when you left, you didn’t just leave
No you took all my secrets with you, you took all my secrets with you
And now you’re with someone else and thinking about it hurts like hell
Cause you got all my secrets with you,
you took all my secrets with you
Now you’ve got a piece of the sacred parts of me
Oh, now all my secrets are in another girl’s bed
you were my human diary
So when you left, you didn’t just leave
No you took all my secrets with you,
you took all my secrets with you
Yea you took all my secrets with you
You took all my secrets with you
Yea you took all my secrets with you
You took all my secrets with you

Honestly this song is so personal, yet so universal. I just lost one of my closest friends, the one who walked with me through the abuse and heartbreak. She knew every part of my life, even the parts that I wish I could forget myself. She knew how to make me laugh and cheer me up when my entire family fell apart. When you lose that kind of person, you don't just lose them. In a way, though it may sound crazy, you lose a little bit of yourself. Ms. Bradbery, you did an amazing job of putting that into words for any type "human diary". This is an amazing, heartfelt song.

Hello
Katelyn Atkinson
omg I can relate to this!

Doesn't sound crazy at all. When you tell someone everything about yourself, and then they just leave...it feels like a special kind of betrayal. It does take part of you. Had the same thing happen to me.

She really is so damn good. Her voice is incredible and this record is much much better than her debut ep. The only thing this girl is missing is for her label to make her a priority plain n simple. She is the full package. Beautiful, amazing voice, and she's young so get goin Big Machine and start doin right by this girl. She deserves it!

minah rai Yes it is! Big Machine Group. They have a bunch of big name artist's and she should be one of them for sure.

On the same idea with Vipe, if she started around 2007-2008 (back in the MySpace days), I feel like she wuld be doing much better since this reminds me of early TS ('08-'09)

If Danielle came out at around early 2000s then theres a chance she would make it big in the industry...back then there was no social media, internet was very rare, so most people are focused on the music alone and not the artist...but now its different...most teenagers now are following the artist and not the music anymore...

Love it!

It's not just about someone taking all your secrets with them... it's the feeling they no longer care for them... for you. Lovely song
