OneRepublic —
Secrets

Lyrics and Music by Ryan Tedder

I need another story,
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.
Thought you saw me wink, no,
I’ve been on the brink, so

Chorus:
     Tell me what you want to hear,
     Something that will light those ears,
     Sick of all the insincere,
     So, I’m gonna give all my secrets away.
     This time don’t need another perfect lie,
     Don’t care if critics ever jump in line,
     I’m gonna give all my secrets away.

My God, amazing how we got this far,
It’s like we’re chasing all those stars,
Who’s driving shiny big black cars.
And every day I see the news:
All the problems that we could solve
And when a situation rises,
Just write it into an album,
Send it straight to gold.
But I don’t really like my flow, no, so

Chorus:
     Tell me what you want to hear,
     Something that will light those ears,
     Sick of all the insincere,
     So, I’m gonna give all my secrets away.
     This time don’t need another perfect lie,
     Don’t care if critics ever jump in line,
     I’m gonna give all my secrets away.

   Uuh, got no reason, got no shame,
   Got no family, I can blame.
   Just don’t let me disappear,
   I’ma tell you everything.

Chorus:
     So, tell me what you want to hear,
     Something that will light those ears,
     Sick of all the insincere,
     So, I’m gonna give all my secrets away.
     This time don’t need another perfect lie,
     Don’t care if critics ever jump in line,
     I’m gonna give all my secrets away.

     So, tell me what you want to hear,
     Something that will light those ears,
     Sick of all the insincere,
     So, I’m gonna give all my secrets away.
     This time don’t need another perfect lie,
     Don’t care if critics ever jump in line,
     I’m gonna give all my secrets away.
     All my secrets away.
     All my secrets away.
