Lyrics

I have a secret, if I told you, would you keep it?

I possess a secret, and I'm contemplating sharing it with you.

Would you post it, would you tweet it, would you run?

Wondering if you would keep the secret, or if you'd share it publicly, perhaps on social media, or if you would avoid the situation.

I wrote you a letter

I opted for written communication, like a letter.

But face to face is better

Despite the letter, I believe face-to-face interaction is more preferable.

Now here it is, I love you till I just can't see

Expressing deep love, to the point of being blinded by it.

And I can't wait till you tell me

Eagerly anticipating your reciprocal expression of love.


Roses are red, violets are blue

Using a classic romantic comparison, expressing love despite acknowledging flaws.

I love everything you hate about you

Emphasizing love for everything disliked or considered negative about you.

I can tell by your reaction

Noticing your response to the confession, suggesting a lack of shared feelings.

Mutual feelings are a-lacking

Indicating a mutual absence of reciprocal emotions.

Don't you break me with your honesty

Requesting not to be hurt by brutal honesty.

Whatever it is don't tell me

Preferring to remain unaware of the undisclosed truth.


Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down

Expressing emotional fluctuations, ups, and downs.

No matter what, you stick around

Acknowledging the constant presence and support despite emotional variations.

Am I reading too much, into your touch

Questioning if there is an overinterpretation of physical contact.

Reading too much into that you stay, hey

Speculating if there's an excessive analysis of your decision to stay.


Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down (Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down)

Repeating the theme of emotional fluctuations.

No matter what, you stick around (No matter what, you stick around)

Reiterating the constancy of your presence despite emotional changes.

Am I reading too much, into your touch (Am I reading too much)

Raising doubts about the depth of interpretation regarding physical touch.

Reading too much into that you stay

Questioning if there's an excessive reading into the decision to stay.


I have a secret, this time I'll keep it

Acknowledging the existence of another secret, with the intention to keep it this time.

I know you don't feel the same, mmm

Acknowledging a lack of reciprocated feelings from you.

But everything, it changes

Highlighting the inevitability of change and the possibility of dreams coming true.

And dreams do come true, don't they?

Expressing hope that dreams can indeed come true.

So maybe one day, you'll tell me

Anticipating the eventual revelation of the second secret, suggesting optimism.
