Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my bed i silently laid
My soul have been freed at night
Now it seems to have taken its fight
I have secrets that am keeping when nights fall
Iam sick of all your lies and games
You played your part
To have my pride
You the one who keep secrets from me
Now you admit that you see me
Secretes from me
Secretes from me
You want me to be empty i know
I'm hurt for the love that i show
Locked away like am a price
Am breaking away baby your eyes
No more tears that you will cry
No more living in the lie
No more waisting another time
When you are stepping on the line
No more no more no more
No more no more no more
I have secrets that am keeping when nights fall
Iam sick of all your lies and games
You played your part
In the shadows you no longer high
To have my pride
You the one who keep secrets from me
Now you admit that you see me
I have secrets that am keeping when nights fall
Iam sick of all your lies and games
You played your part
In the shadows you no longer high
To have my pride
You the one who keep secrets from me
Now you admit that you see me
No hold on baby take a look at you style
It must be a dream as i kind of played in denial
Your love no one for me
Your love no one for me
Now baby i'm saying to you bye-bye
Now baby i'm saying to you bye-bye
I have secrets that am keeping when nights fall
Iam sick of all your lies and games
You played your part
In the shadows you no longer high
To have my pride
You the one who keep secrets from me
Now you admit that you see me
I have secrets that am keeping when nights fall( i have secrets in my sleep)
Iam sick of all your lies and games
You played your part
In the shadows you no longer high
To have my pride ( still have my pride)
You the one who keep secrets from me
Now you admit that you see me
I have secrets that am keeping when nights fall( you can't stand me)
Iam sick of all your lies and games( you a liar now you hate me and your secrets)
You played your part
In the shadows you no longer high
To have my pride
You the one who keep secrets from me
Now you admit that you see me
Now baby i'm saying to you bye-bye
Now baby i'm saying to you bye-bye
Now baby i'm saying to you bye-bye
Now baby i'm saying to you bye-bye
The song "Secrets" by Jamali explores the aftermath of a breakup and the hurt and betrayal that comes with it. The lyrics paint a picture of the singer lying in bed at night, tormented by the secrets that she is keeping and the lies and games played by her former partner. The dynamics of the relationship are portrayed as unequal, with the ex-partner holding secrets from the singer while demanding that she be vulnerable and empty.
The repeated refrain "I have secrets that I'm keeping when nights fall" emphasizes the sense of isolation and shame that the singer feels as she struggles to process the end of the relationship. The chorus, with its declaration that there will be "no more tears that you will cry," is a powerful statement of self-affirmation and resistance.
Overall, the song is a poignant exploration of the emotional complexities of a breakup, and the ways in which secrets and lies can corrode even the strongest of relationships.

Before the break of day
In my bed I silently lay
My soul had been freed at night
Now it seems to have taken it's flight
All your secrets in my keeping
When the night's dark
I am sick of all your lies and games
You played your part
In the shadow I'll no longer hide
Still have my pride
You're the one who kept secrets from me
Now you hate the me that you see
Secrets from me
Secrets from me
You want me to be unseen, unknown
Unheard for the love that I've shown
Locked away like I'm a prize
I'm breaking away, baby I'll rise
No more tears for you I'll cry
No more living in your lie
No more wasting love and time
When you were stepping outta line
No more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more
All your secrets in my keeping
When the night's dark
I am sick of all your lies and games
You played your part
In the shadow I'll no longer hide
Still have my pride
You're the one who kept secrets from me
Now you hate the me that you see
All your secrets in my keeping
When the night's dark
I am sick of all your lies and games
You played your part
In the shadow I'll no longer hide
Still have my pride
You're the one who kept secrets from me
Now you hate the me that you see
Now hold up baby take a look at your style
It must be a dream as I'm caught up in denial
You're not the one for me
You're not the one for me
Now baby I say to you bye bye
Now baby I say to you bye bye
All your secrets in my keeping
When the night's dark
