Secrets
Will Champlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something to get off my chest
My life gets kinda boring
Need something that I can confess
Til' all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly I swear
I thought you saw me wink, no
Tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those ears
I'm sick of all the insincere
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect lie
Critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
My God, amazing how we come this far
It's like we're chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars
And everyday I see the news
And the problems that we could solve
When a situation rises
Just write it into an album
Send it straight to gold
I don't really like my flow
Tell me what you want to hear
Something that are like those years
I'm sick of all the insincere
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
Got no reason, got no shame
Got no family I can't blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'mma tell you everything
Tell me what you want to hear
Something that'll light those ears
I'm sick of all the insincere
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect lie
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets
All my secrets away
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

My life gets kinda boring
My life lacks excitement and I need a change

And everyday I see the news
Every day there is more bad news to contend with
And the problems that we could solve
We are aware of the issues we face as a society, but struggle to find solutions
When a situation rises

Just write it into an album
I'll use my music as a way to express my thoughts and emotions
Send it straight to gold
Hopefully my music will be successful and reach many people

Got no reason, got no shame
I have nothing to hide or be ashamed of
Got no family I can't blame

Just don't let me disappear
I want my music and my message to be remembered even if I'm not around
All my secrets away
I am prepared to reveal all the truth that I have kept hidden
