Everybody talks

Nobody understands

Everyone takes

Just as much as they can

But at the top of the stairs,

There's a room with a key.

'Cause I got a secret inside of me.



And everybody's lost

and nobody is found

The pathway should walk

Across this treacherous ground

But I go where I like,

and I do what I please

Because I got a secret inside of me,

and no one can take that away.



And everybody comes

and everybody goes

when your number comes up

Nobody ever really knows.

But my eyes are wide open

and my conscience is clean.

'Cause I got a secret inside of me

and no one can take that away.



Seems like everything I do

Everything I play,

everything I try,

every single day

always seems to come out backwards for me



Meanwhile, everybody laughs,

everybody lies,

everybody lives,

everybody tries

Just to make it through another day



And everyone shut up

maybe I could hear myself scream

'Cause I got a secret inside of me

and no one can take that away



Seems like everything I do

Everything I play,

everything I try,

every single day

always seems to come out backwards for me



Meanwhile, everybody laughs,

everybody lies,

everybody lives,

everybody tries

Just to make it through another day



And everybody comes

and everybody leaves

and everyone tries,

but nobody sees.

But I'm never gonna give up,

I'll never give into the grief

because I got a secret inside of me

and I'm gonna lock it away

Yeah, I got a secret inside of me

and no one can take that away.
