Secret Lyrics by Vanessa Whyte

Poems

2020

[Verse 1]
You wrote me a letter, said I need to be better
I said I don't remember, you said I need to be better to you
And you said don't call me, and don't bother speaking
I'll stay home on the weekends, and I'll stop speaking to you

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You wanna seem unbothered by this but you just wanna be missed
And stay mad and stay pressed and be my biggest regret
But these days I'm too tired
I don't have time to conspire
Or walk along this thin wire
Give it some time, you'll be running back like

[Chorus]
Tеll me a secret
I'm thе best to keep it
Make it sound like you mean it
Fake a smile, I'll see it, see it
Tell me a secret
I'm the best to keep it
Make it sound like you mean it
See it, see it, see it, secret

[Verse 2]
All your friends all hate me, and I'd have to agree
I'm the villain like you told me, I have to agree with you
And you're right, I look bad, but we did what we had
It's not exactly what I have planned, but you did what you had to

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I say why tell the truth when you can twist it for you
And tell them all we just grew as if we both had a clue
But does it really all matter
When we just fake all this chatter
Cause after all we're both actors
You make a scene and I write the script like

[Chorus]
Tell me a secret
I'm the best to keep it
Make it sound like you mean it
Fake a smile, I'll see it, see it
Tell me a secret
I'm the best to keep it
Make it sound like you mean it
See it, see it, see it, secret

[Outro]
You share secrets and hold hands in front of me
I don't wanna be here, I think I'll just leave and
You act like everything's fine, like I didn't find a whole new life
Had to find a whole new life
The look in your eyes, I know that things aren't fine
Nobody here knows about you and I
The history, tragedy, all you meant to me
All you mean to me
(x2)
