Dirty Little Secret
Hidden Confessions: Jonathan James' Melodic Tale of Forbidden Desires
Lyrics
Let me know that I've done wrong
Expressing a desire for acknowledgment of wrongdoing.
When I've known this all along
Acknowledging self-awareness of the wrongdoing.
I go around a time or two
Repeating the cycle of engaging in futile actions.
Just to waste my time with you
Investing time without purpose, possibly in a relationship.
Tell me all that you've thrown away
Requesting disclosure of discarded aspects of one's life.
Find out games you don't wanna play
Discovering undesirable aspects or behaviors in a relationship.
You are the only one that needs to know
Emphasizing secrecy by limiting who knows about certain matters.
I'll keep you my dirty little secret
Declaring an intention to keep a concealed truth.
(Dirty little secret)
Reiterating the notion of the concealed truth as a "dirty little secret."
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
Warning against revealing the secret to avoid future regret.
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
Highlighting the potential for regret if the secret is exposed.
My dirty little secret
Reaffirming ownership of the concealed truth.
Who has to know
Pondering the necessity of others knowing the secret.
When we live such fragile lives
Reflecting on the fragility of life as a justification for secrecy.
It's the best way we survive
Suggesting that maintaining secrets is a crucial survival strategy.
I go around a time or two
Repeating the pattern of engaging in purposeless actions.
Just to waste my time with you
Continuing to invest time without meaningful outcomes.
Tell me all that you've thrown away
Asking for disclosure of discarded aspects, echoing line 5.
Find out games you don't wanna play
Reiterating the discovery of undesirable aspects or behaviors.
You are the only one that needs to know
Emphasizing secrecy as a selective sharing of information.
I'll keep you my dirty little secret
Reaffirming the commitment to keep the secret.
(Dirty little secret)
Reiterating the nature of the concealed truth as "dirty."
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
Warning against sharing the secret to avoid future regret.

Reemphasizing the potential for regret if the secret is exposed.
My dirty little secret
Reaffirming ownership and control over the concealed truth.
