Shhh... It's a Secret - Set It Off

Once upon a time there was someone just like you

Who lived without a care in the world, just a regular girl

With a secret no one knew, or so the story goes

You see the way her lips move

Just trying to get in the groove

You think you hear the truth, but the lies keep creeping in

City lights illuminate

Innocence, but it’s too late

Cause I never wanted it to be this way

Just know that I’ll always be here, no fear

Let me make one thing clear

That’s why you never see it coming

Cause I could never see the lies behind those eyes

So baby take off your disguise

And you’ll see sunsets and starlit skies

That’s why you never see it coming

Confusion boiling, like the water that’s been heated

Just like my temper when I needed some clarification

But I got it now

I found these skeletons inside your closet

So tell me my friend what you think I should do?

I am almost 100-percent positive

That all these skeletons belong to you

Tip-top in the bottom bag

Is where she keeps her favorite mag

And I won’t fall down in the murky mess of it all

City lights illuminate

Innocence, but it’s too late

Cause I never wanted it to be this way

Just know that I’ll always be here, no fear

Let me make one thing clear

That’s why you never see it coming

Cause I could never see the lies behind those eyes

So baby take off your disguise

And you’ll see sunsets and starlit skies

That’s why you never see it coming

Confusion boiling, like the water that’s been heated

Just like my temper when I needed some clarification

But I got it now

Take my hand, I’ll guide you there

To a quiet place where no one stares

It’s all you need to make your life complete

Now that it’s all said and done

All I ask of you is to be the one

To never hide who you are inside

City lights illuminate

Innocence, but it’s too late

Cause I never wanted it to be this way

Just know that I’ll always be here, no fear

Let me make one thing clear

That’s why you never see it coming

Cause I could never see the lies behind those eyes

So baby take off your disguise

And you’ll see sunsets and starlit skies

That’s why you never see it coming

Confusion boiling, like the water that’s been heated

Just like my temper when I needed some clarification

But I got it now
