The morning after
The only laughter
Is that which echoes from the night before
I'm feelin' broken
Words already spoken lay crumpled
And hurt on the floor
Except for those that I should not have said
Guarded secrets locked inside my head
Oh, what did I tell
Precious gems entrusted to me
Those words struggling to be free
Uncontrolled, from my mouth they fell
[Chorus]:
Oh, secrets
Some mine
Some his
Some hers
Secrets
The truth's so easy
'Cause I'm so lazy
It comes so naturally
Oops, I told him
Just where you've been
Perhaps you should not have told him
Please in future, don't burden me
With your lies or your secrecy
I deal with my own
Because from my mouth they fell
I have trouble keeping things on the DL
When they're not seeds that I've sown
[Chorus 2x]
Thought I'd keep it underneath my hat
But temptation won me over just like that
Thank you not for the extra guilt I got
When you said what you said
I'm just a child, wild and free
I need the time to take care of me
Oh
Take the time to care for number one, so
Please in future don't burden me
With your lies or your secrecy
I deal with my own
Because from my mouth they fell
I have trouble keeping things on the DL
When they're the seeds that I've sown
[Chorus 2x]
The only laughter
Is that which echoes from the night before
I'm feelin' broken
Words already spoken lay crumpled
And hurt on the floor
Except for those that I should not have said
Guarded secrets locked inside my head
Oh, what did I tell
Precious gems entrusted to me
Those words struggling to be free
Uncontrolled, from my mouth they fell

Secrets
The truth's so easy
'Cause I'm so lazy

Oops, I told him

I deal with my own
Because from my mouth they fell
I have trouble keeping things on the DL
When they're not seeds that I've sown
[Chorus 2x]
Thought I'd keep it underneath my hat
But temptation won me over just like that
Thank you not for the extra guilt I got
When you said what you said
I'm just a child, wild and free
I need the time to take care of me
Oh
Take the time to care for number one, so
Please in future don't burden me
With your lies or your secrecy
I deal with my own
Because from my mouth they fell
I have trouble keeping things on the DL
When they're the seeds that I've sown
[Chorus 2x]
