Story Behind The Song

A story I heard from someone.

Song Description

This story is about a woman who lives with secrets. She was molested by a family member for many years who did hide in the closet, waiting for everyone to go to sleep. She keeps this secret and grows into womanhood with the shame and the ability to pretend to be normal, though she will never feel normal.

Lyrics

She has secrets too scary to tell
She tells stories, tall tales instead
In her closet is a monster
and he wants to be fed
He's taken away the comfort of her bed

Chorus:
Secrets, secrets, oh oh oh oh

Inside these walls, there is sadness she said
And she can't run from the fear
Locked inside her head
Though shame leaves it's trace
She smiles to save face
She can smile with her secrets
She has secrets

Chorus
Secrets, secrets

Bridge:
She can't trust the night anymore
Watches the lock on her door
She just can't sleep at night anymore
Footsteps on the floor
She's can't sleep at night anymore
She wants to fly away, she just can't stay

Chorus:
Secret, Secrets...

Too young to know, what her body can do
Too young to understand, what's false and what is true
How can someone you love, who claims to love you
Make you do things that you don't want to do
No you don't want to

Chorus:
Secrets, secrets...
