"Secret" lyrics

"Secret"

Pulled into your driveway again
We kissed, but it felt different
I should've seen it coming then, mm-mm-mm-mm
Swore that you only had a crush
You told me that you would cut him off
I should've seen it coming then, mm-mm-mm-mm
My friends all warned me I should run for the hills
But I defended you still
'Cause I knew rumors could kill, oh (Ooh)

Oh, your secret's safe with me
And him, and all of our friends you told
Oh, you don't even know, I know
Don't worry, 'cause I'm keepin' my mouth closed
Yeah, your secret's safe with me
And him, and everyone else who knows
Darling, how could you be so cold?
Don't worry, 'cause I'm keepin' my mouth closed
Yeah, your secret's safe with me

I really hope you had your fun, good for you foolin' everyone
You had me tricked for sixteen months
Oh, your smoke and mirrors had me hypnotized
Right in front of my eyes
Well, I heard the truth last night

Your secret's safe with me
And him, and all of our friends you told
Oh, you don't even know, I know
Don't worry, 'cause I'm keepin' my mouth closed
Yeah, your secret's safe with me
And him, and everyone else who knows
Darling, how could you be so cold?
Don't worry, 'cause I'm keepin' my mouth closed

When "Woe is me" stops working
I bet your songs won't sound the same
The truth you can't deny changed everything
Oh, you can't hide behind what's clear as day

Oh, your secret's safe with me
And him, and all of our friends you told (All our friends you told)
Oh, you don't even know, I know (I know)
Don't worry, 'cause I'm keepin' my mouth closed
Yeah, your secret's safe with me
And him, and everyone else who knows (All of our friends, they know)
Darling, how could you be so cold?
Don't worry, 'cause I'm keepin' my mouth closed
Yeah, your secret's safe with me
And him, and all of our friends you told
Yeah, your secret's safe with me
And him, and all of our friends you told
Yeah, your secret's safe with me

Joshua Bassett wrote this song along with "Crisis" and "Set Me Free" during a "wild inspirational week" as he called it in a series of text messages on TikTok when he was also sharing snippets of each song. The videos for every song were filmed in one take with "Secret" being the hardest video to film. Bassett said in a press release, "Releasing these vulnerable snippets of my life is equally terrifying and beautifully liberating."
