Truth and Secrets Lyrics

I took a walk to the old house this morning
Dawn sat at the kitchen table drinking coffee
I looked in the window of my old bedroom
The carpeting and wallpaper had been removed

I want to know
I need to know
But you want truth and secrets too

I took a walk downtown early this morning
The cities are empty on Saturday mornings
Inhale and exhale I can see my breath
Surrounded by silence it has made me deaf

I want to know
I need to know
It's late last night...it's tomorrow
And all my lines just flatten out
Since you found out what I'm about

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
