Secrets, 

you wanna know about secrets? 

Secrets about her? 

Secrets about him? 

Secrets about them? 

I know some secrets, 

secrets no one knows. 

Do you wanna know?

Let's start with her, 

that girl you sit behind. 

The one who's oh-So-quiet, 

the one who's friends with everyone, 

the one who listens to everyone's problems. 

Yes her. 

On the outside, 

out in public, 

she seems so quiet and 

like she doesn't have a single problem. 

But on the inside, 

she's screaming and crying. 

She hides the scars on her arms 

by saying her cat got her good, 

and the scars on her ankles are hidden. 

Her secret? 

She's all alone with separated parents, 

no one talks to her unless 

they have a problem, 

so she has no friends. 

No one asks her to hang out either, 

so she's always at home or school.

Now let's move on to that 

star football player at you school. 

No one knows his mom is long dead 

and that his dad beats him. 

He hides it better than that girl 

since his dad leaves no mark 

nor does anyone ever ask bout his mother. 

No one realizes that he plays "daddy" 

with his baby sister 

just so she knows she's loved. 

When he's not playing "daddy", 

he's at football or school, 

and if he's not doing that stuff, 

he's drinking his father's liquor. 

No one notices though, 

why would they when he's got "everything"?

Now we move onto that couple there, 

yes them. 

She only wants sex and to escape, 

he doesn't really want her. 

Her daddy raped her 

and beat her mother half to death, 

he knows that she just wants sex 

so he takes advantage. 

She wants to run away with him, 

he's planning on breaking her heart. 

But to any outsider, 

they look like the perfect teen couple. 

But they're not even close.

More secrets? 

You still want more secrets? 

Well pick someone and I'll 

unlock their world for you to peek.

The gay guy you say? 

Well he's actually bisexual, 

but no girl wants to be with him. 

He may seem girlie, 

but he's great at sports. 

Why doesn't he play? 

Because no one wants 

"a homo touching their junk", 

so he doesn't play. 

He's the top of his class, 

a total sweetheart, 

and would be the perfect guy for any girl. 

What's his secret? 

He's actually a teen porn star. 

Just kidding you perv! 

His real secret is that he's adopted, 

yet no one cares enough to ask. 

Sure his adopted parents are cool, 

but he'd rather know his real parents.

Then there's that "slutty" girl there, 

the one that people say 

makes guys pay her to have sex 

anyway they want. 

No one knows that she's still a virgin 

who's ex started a rumor about her 

after she dumped him. 

Why did she dump him? 

He cheated on her with her cousin. 

So now she is forever labeled "slut".

Now what about you? 

You must have secrets too, 

everyone does. 

Even I do. 

Why not unlock your world for me to see? 

I've let you in other's, 

now it's your turn. 

To scared? 

How do you think they feel? 

So spill your guts for me, 

all your dirty secrets, 

all the skeltons in your closet, 

your demons and inner thoughts, 

just let them all out for me. 

Can't? 

Won't? 

Why not? 

You wanted to know their secrets 

but you can't give your own? 

Don't worry, 

I know your secrets but I won't share 

if you don't share mine.
