The Wild
Secrets Lyrics

You're the worst part of me!
You are the negative aspect of myself.

Because, when I gave you my soul, I didn't get one back,
When I trusted you with my innermost self, you did not reciprocate.

And it was never enough but it was all I had (All I had)
Even though my effort was insufficient, it was all that I had to offer.

If you could, take me back to the way things were and maybe,
If it were possible to return to the past and reconsider what has occurred, there may be hope.

I could take back all the words I told her.
I would retract all of the negative things I expressed about another person.

I could take back my soul, take back what's mine,
I would reclaim my sense of self, my intrinsic value.

And baby I won't take you back for the first time.
And I would not re-enter a relationship with you for the first time.

And finally, I'm free to fly without you here by my side.
I am unshackled and able to go forth without your presence beside me.

Now that these restraints have lifted, it feels like the weight has shifted.
Overcoming these restrictions and boundaries makes me feel as though I have released a heavy burden.

And finally, I'm free to soar without you here to block the door
Now I am unimpeded and able to ascend without your obstruction.

My mind is littered with photos of you, and I'm burning them one by one.
I am purging my memory of you, erasing each image and thought one at a time.

I'm just another bitter face in your heartless fucking book.
To you, I am just a single unhappy subject in your callous narrative.

I gave you everything and that's exactly what you took.
I granted you all that I had and all that I was, and that is precisely what you seized.

Get her out of my head!
I am struggling to rid myself of thoughts of this person.

This too shall pass and I'll learn to live again.
This period of difficulty will come to an end, and I will be able to rediscover how to exist without constant suffering.

I'm bruised and broken, damaged goods, and severely misunderstood.
I am physically and emotionally injured, and that has led others to have a negative perception of me.

It took this long to realize, that this too shall pass
It has taken me time to comprehend that this situation will not last indefinitely.

And I'll learn to live again.
I will discover how to thrive once more.

Finally I'm free to fly without you here by my side.
I am unrestrained and able to move forward independently.

And I can finally fly.
And now I am liberated to take flight toward new opportunities and joys.

This too shall pass and I'll learn to love again.
This is temporary, and I will discover how to find love and happiness once more.
