Ready For Repair
Secrets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me back to where we started
Let's erase every memory and make it so we never existed

These days will only end in shame
Did you ever believe we'd be this way?
Tearing down the structures that we made
I think we need to make a change
You can twist and turn me inside out
But you'll never stretch what I'm about
And everything you let slip
Is pushing forward to a repeat exit

Take back what we've done, we can start it all over

Take me back down to where we started
Let's erase every memory and make it so we never existed
Take me back down to where we started
Let's erase every memory and make it so we never existed

Looks like we've been here before
We're throwing punches, but we're missing all the marks
I say we need to take a second to analyze what we've been missing

Every time you cry
I try to hide it but a piece of me dies
Every time we try
We always end up at each others throats
I can't escape who I am

Take me back down where we started
Let's erase every memory and make it so we never existed
Take me back down where we started
Let's erase every memory and make it so we never existed

Don't try to hide all your demons inside
Let me see who you really are
Don't pretend everything's alright
We knew we were dead from the start
I don't expect you to understand
It's time to take my life in my own hands
I finally realize I need a fresh start

We were always meant to fall apart
We were always meant to fall apart
We were always meant to fall apart

Take me back down where we started
Let's erase every memory and make it so we never existed
Take me back down where we started
Let's erase every memory and make it so we never existed




Every time you cry
I try to hide it but a piece of me dies

Take me back to where we started
Let's return to the beginning of our relationship


Let's erase every memory and make it so we never existed
Let's forget everything that ever happened between us


These days will only end in shame
Our current situation will only lead to disgrace


Did you ever believe we'd be this way?
Did you ever think things would turn out like this?


Tearing down the structures that we made
Breaking apart the things we built together


I think we need to make a change
I believe we should do things differently


You can twist and turn me inside out
You can try to manipulate me


But you'll never stretch what I'm about
But you can never change who I am fundamentally


And everything you let slip
And all the things you reveal about yourself


Is pushing forward to a repeat exit
Will cause us to repeat the same pattern of breaking up


Take back what we've done, we can start it all over
Let's take back our mistakes and try again


Looks like we've been here before
It seems like we're repeating the same mistakes


We're throwing punches, but we're missing all the marks
We're trying to fix things but not making any progress


I say we need to take a second to analyze what we've been missing
I suggest we pause and reflect on what we lack


Every time you cry
Whenever you shed tears


I try to hide it but a piece of me dies
I attempt to conceal my emotions, but it hurts me inside


Every time we try
Whenever we make an effort


We always end up at each others throats
We always argue and fight with each other


I can't escape who I am
I cannot change my true self


Don't try to hide all your demons inside
Don't conceal your inner struggles


Let me see who you really are
Let me understand your true personality


Don't pretend everything's alright
Don't act like everything is okay when it's not


We knew we were dead from the start
We were unsuccessful in our relationship from the beginning


I don't expect you to understand
I don't anticipate you comprehending my thoughts and feelings


It's time to take my life in my own hands
It's time for me to be in control of my life


I finally realize I need a fresh start
I finally understand that I need to start over


We were always meant to fall apart
Our relationship was always destined to end


Take me back down where we started
Take me back to the beginning of our relationship


Let's erase every memory and make it so we never existed
Let's forget everything that ever happened between us


Every time you cry
Whenever you shed tears


I try to hide it but a piece of me dies
I attempt to conceal my emotions, but it hurts me inside

This shit hit me hard!
Don't try to hide all your demons inside
Let me see who you really are
Don't pretend everything's alright
We knew we were dead from the start

It's time to take my life in my own hands
I finally realize I need a fresh start
We were always meant to fall apart
