Secrets
Good & Broken Lyrics

You left your home
You chose to leave the familiar and comfortable environment of your home

Uncertain and alone
Feeling unsure and isolated

But you were always built of stone
You possess inner strength and resilience

Better on your own
You thrive when being independent

And never rely on what made you grow
You don't depend on external factors for your personal growth

Doesn't make you what you know
Your knowledge and experience define you, not external circumstances

Turn away from the home
You consciously distance yourself from your past and upbringing

And the lessons unknown
You are willing to learn from new experiences

Don't think you're done
You shouldn't believe that you are finished or accomplished

By the time you turn twenty one
Reaching the age of 21 does not mark the end of your journey

Hold your head up
Remain confident and proud

Burn down the bridges you've outrun
Cut ties with the past and move forward without looking back

You don't get to
You can't always have the privilege or control

Pick and choose when you enter the scene
You can't always choose when or how you are involved in a situation

And make it out like we've never been there
Can't pretend like you haven't experienced similar things in the past

We're just over it
We are tired and no longer interested in it

Acting like the world owes you a favor
Behaving entitled, expecting special treatment from the world

You passed that bridge way back at eighteen
You surpassed that stage or milestone when you were 18 years old

You locked yourself away
You isolated yourself emotionally or physically

In a secret place that no one knows
In a hidden realm that remains undisclosed to others

Picked a better life
You chose a more favorable and fulfilling existence

Distance from the dark sky
Separation from a negative and oppressive atmosphere

Opened up a path of clouds
Created a hopeful and optimistic trajectory for yourself

I'm so proud of you now
Expressing admiration and satisfaction for your current progress

For not giving in
Commending your refusal to surrender or yield

Falling back to backseat driving
Returning to a passive role, avoiding taking control of your own life

When you own your own time
When you take full responsibility for managing your own time

You don't get to
You do not have the privilege or opportunity

Pick and choose when you enter the scene
You can't always decide when you are involved in a situation

And make it out like we've never been there
Cannot act as if you have no prior experience or knowledge

We're just over it
We are tired and uninterested in it

Acting like the world owes you a favor
Behaving entitled, expecting special treatment from the world

You passed that bridge way back at eighteen
You surpassed that stage or milestone when you were 18 years old

You locked yourself away
You isolated yourself emotionally or physically

In a secret place that no one knows
In a hidden realm undisclosed to others

Don't think you're done
Don't assume you have reached the end or completed your journey

By the time you turn twenty one
Reaching the age of 21 doesn't signify completion

Hold your head up
Remain confident and proud

Burn down the bridges you've outrun
Sever connections with the past that you have moved beyond
