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.
