Secrets Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Still don't know how he got my number
Thought I'd got him out of my life
But I agreed to see him just one time
Never thought I'd fall for him twice
Oh, you've gotta hear my confession
I believe it's long overdue
I can't think of living without you
I'd understand if that's what you'd wanna do

[Chorus]
There are secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon

[Verse 2]
Never wanted to hurt you
Didn't really want to deceive
I was so afraid if I told you
Your broken heart would force you to leave
I think I knew what I was doing
By falling into his arms again
I wish I'd seen right through him
But I'm telling you now 'cos I'm so ashamed
[Chorus]
There are secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon
There are secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon

[Bridge]
(Secrets, secrets, secrets, secrets)
Oh, you've gotta hear my confession
I believe it's long overdue
I can't think of living without you
I'd understand if that's what you'd wanna do

[Chorus]
There are secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon
Secrets, secrets, secrets
Pillow talk in the afternoon
Secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon
Secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon
Secrets that you never knew
Secrets in a private room
Secrets that I kept from you
Pillow talk in the afternoon
Secrets that you never knew

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
