The morning after the only laughter
Echoes from the night before
I'm feeling broken, words already spoken
Lay crumpled, and hurt on the floor

Except for those that I should not have said
Guarded secrets locked inside my head
Oh, what did I tell
Precious gems entrusted to me
Those were struggling to be free
Uncontrolled from my mouth they fell

Oh, secrets, some mine, some his, some hers, secrets

The truth's so easy, 'cause i'm so lazy
It comes so naturally
Oops, I told him just where you've been
Perhaps I should not have told him

Please in future don't burden me
With your lies and your secrecy
I deal with my own
Because from my mouth they fell
I have trouble keeping things on the DL
When they're not seeds that I've sown

Oh, secrets, some mine, some his, some hers, secrets
Oh, secrets, some mine, some his, some hers

Thought I'd keep it underneath my hat
But temptation won me over just like that
Thank you not for the extra guilt I got
When you said what you said
I'm just a child, wild and free
I need the time to take care of me
Take the time to care for number one so

Please in future don't burden me
With your lies and your secrecy
I deal with my own
Because from my mouth they fell
I have trouble keeping things on the DL
When they're the seeds that I've sown

Oh, secrets, some mine, some his, some hers, secrets
Oh, secrets, some mine, some his, some hers
