secret
Kristin Sesselja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you keep a secret?
I'm not used to this
They said it would help me
Find someone new to kiss
And I guess its all right
I'm having some fun
And so I come undone
Oh oh when you left you took a part of me with you
Oh oh oh and I swore to myself to not let you
But when I see you all the feelings they come rushing back
I know it's crazy that I still can not get over that
You know I'm not the kind of girl to ever break your heart
So don't be scared that this is ever gonna break apart
We'll keep it between us
No one has to know
I know I can be uptight
But we can keep it down low
And if we're gonna go there
We might just do it all
And you don't need to worry
I promise im not gonna fall
Gonna fall, gonna fall, gonna fall, gonna fall (gonna fall)
Gonna fall, gonna fall, gonna fall, gonna fall (gonna fall)
Gonna fall, gonna fall, gonna fall, gonna fall (gonna fall)
Gonna fall, gonna fall, gonna fall, gonna fall
Think we should go for it
But I overthink
When I see you dancing
I think I need a drink
Your hands on my hips and
Your eyes on my eyes
And this leads to no good
You are the devil in disguise
Oh oh when you left you took a part of me with you
Oh oh oh and I swore to myself to not let you
But when I see you all the feelings they come rushing back
I know it's crazy that I still can not get over that
You know I'm not the kind of girl to ever break your heart
So don't be scared that this is ever gonna break apart
We'll keep it between us
No one has to know
I know I can be uptight
But we can keep it down low
And if we're gonna go there
We might just do it all
And you don't need to worry
I promise im not gonna fall
Gonna fall, gonna fall, gonna fall, gonna fall (gonna fall)
Gonna fall, gonna fall, gonna fall, gonna fall (gonna fall)
Gonna fall, gonna fall, gonna fall, gonna fall (gonna fall)
Gonna fall, gonna fall, gonna fall,
Gonna fall (I promise I'm not gonna fall)
We'll keep it between us
No one has to know
I know I can be uptight
But we can keep it down low
And if we're gonna go there
We might just do it all
And you don't need to worry
I promise im not gonna fall
