Secret
Forrest Day Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She's selling her [soul]
You're buying her [hope]
She's out of con[trol]
You're out in the [cold]
You know that the sudden
Be changing your life
And that you have a secret now
She's selling her [soul]
You're buying her [hope]
She's out of con[trol]
You're out in the [cold]
You know that the sudden
Be changing your life
And that you have a secret now

Trust, Caged, Lust, Erased

Let's not make this a habit
Where you always need money to have it
And your mind gets perverse
Can't be reversed, can't rest

'Cause you want her
You want her to be there to please you
Make you feel like you can
Handle these [women]
Take a [stand]

Yeah, And you need her
You Need her to act like she loves you
Make you feel like a man
Act like she [cares]
She under[stands]

She's selling her [soul]
You're buying her [hope]
She's out of con[trol]
You're out in the [cold]
You know that the sudden
Be changing your life
And that you have a secret now

She's selling her [soul]
You're buying her [hope]
She's out of con[trol]
You're out in the [cold]
You know that the sudden
Be changing your life
And that you have a secret now

Oh...

It burns you
That nobody else would accept you
If they knew what you done
But you don't regret it
Because it was fun

It ought to
And now you have no one to run to
To set secrets free
Let these things [go]
So your heart can [breathe]

Yeah, and you need her
You need her to act like she loves you
Make you feel like a man
Act like she [cares]
She under[stands]

She's selling her [soul]
You're buying her [hope]
She's out of con[trol]
You're out in the [cold]
You know that the sudden
Be changing your life
And that you have a secret now

She's selling her [soul]
You're buying her [hope]
She's out of con[trol]
You're out in the [cold]
You know that the sudden
Be changing your life
And that you have a secret now

[Trust, Caged, Lust, Erased]
Trust, Caged, Lust, Erased
[Trust, Caged, Lust, Erased]
Trust, Caged, Lust, Erased

She's selling her [soul]
You're buying her [hope]
She's out of [control]
You're out in the [cold]

Trust, Caged, Lust, Erased

She's selling her [soul]
You're buying her [hope]
She's out of con[trol]
You're out in the [cold]
