OneRepublic Secrets Lyrics

I need another story
I have a secret that I need to tell someone.

Something to get off my chest
I need to confess and share this burden with someone else.

My life gets kind of boring
I have a mundane life and I need something exciting to happen.

Need something that I can confess
I need to tell someone my secrets and feel a sense of relief and liberation.

Till all my sleeves are stained red
I have been truthful and honest to the point where I have run out of excuses and cannot deny the truth any longer.

From all the truth that I've said
I have told the truth and admitted to my secrets to those around me.

Come by, it honestly I swear
Please believe me, I am telling the truth.

Thought you saw me wink, no, I've been on the brink, so
I wasn't trying to deceive you, I have been teetering on the edge and struggling to keep my secret to myself.

Tell me what you want to hear
I want to share my secrets with you, but I need to know that you will listen and be supportive of me.

Something that'll like those ears
I need your assurance that you are on my side and won't judge me for what I reveal.

Sick of all the insincere
I am tired of people who are dishonest and fake, I want someone genuine.

So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
I have decided to share my secrets and be completely honest with you.

This time
I am serious and committed to opening up to you.

Don't need another perfect lie
I am not looking for someone to tell me what I want to hear, I need someone to accept me for who I am.

Don't care if critics never jumped in line
I am not concerned with people's opinions or judgment, I want to be true to myself.

My God, amazing how we got this far
I am reflecting on how incredible it is that I am opening up to you and sharing my secrets.

It's like we were chasing all those stars
It feels like I have been searching for someone trustworthy and finally found that person in you.

Whose driver shining big black cars
Someone who is successful and with whom I can share my secrets without fear of judgment.

And everyday I see the news
I am constantly reminded of the problems in the world and how much better it would be if we were all honest with each other.

All the problems that we could solve
If we were all more honest and open, we could work together to solve the world's problems.

And when a situation rises
Whenever something difficult or challenging happens, I want to be honest and not keep secrets.

Just write it into an album
I am using this song as a means of sharing my secrets and being truthful with my fans and listeners.

Sitting straight, too low
I am feeling vulnerable and exposed as I share my secrets with you.

And I don't really like my flow, oh, so
I am not sure if I am saying everything correctly, but I am trying my best to communicate my message.

Got no reason
I have no excuse to keep hiding my secrets.

Got no shame
I am not ashamed of who I am, and I want to be honest with myself and others.

Got no family
I don't have anyone close to me that I can confide in or trust with my secrets.

I can blame
I cannot use anyone else as an excuse for keeping my secrets, it is solely up to me to divulge the truth.

Just don't let me disappear
I want to continue to be honest and not run away from my problems or hide from the truth.

I'mma tell you everything
I am going to share all of my secrets with you and be completely honest.

All my secrets away
I am giving up all of my secrets and being completely truthful and honest with you and my audience.
