Phora Lyrics
"Secrets"

She said she couldn't stay too late
She gotta be home by ten she had school the next day
She wasn't the type to play she ain't like them other chicks
She ain't known for getting drunk, poppin' pills, or sucking dick
More like the type to show up to class an hour early
Never wearing shorts that's showing her ass
Gotta hold on her past she can't let go of it
She don't really smile but nobody ever notices
Grade A student all her teachers love her
She just wishes she felt that same love from her mother
But she's stuck in county jail for eighteen months
So it's just her and pops and every day he's drunk
They hardly talk so when she gets to the house
She goes straight to her room and shuts the lights out
Hoping the next day comes sooner than later
She can't wait to move out four hundred dollars saved up
She knows she has a long way to go but she keeps her head so high
You'll probably never know what she had to go through for so long
(oh) but she never forgets to hold on she said:

If you knew my secret I wonder what you'd say,
I wonder if you'd leave and I wonder if you'd stay,
I wounded if you'd see me in a different way (see me in a different way)
I think about it everyday.

She met a kid named Joey knew he had a crush
Always made her laugh and said things to make her blush
But she tried to pay him no attention
Scared her past would eventually ruin the friendship
'Cause it's so hard for her to open her feelings
He said 'if you don't give me your heart beautiful I'mma steal it'
So twelve months passed and ever since
He said that she been in love but every body has their setbacks
She wrote on paper sayin' "I'm sorry
I just wish you knew your the reason that my heart beats
Always made me smile ever since the day you saw me
You were my guardian angel when I had nobody
But there's something I haven't told you for six years
There was something that I had to go through
That shattered my spirit and my dreams, I know you can see it
My father did these things to me and no one believed it
My mom was never there to see I hope when she reads this
She OD's on the very thing that broke us to pieces
You were the only person that I ever loved
And it kills me inside to know that I was the one
To ruin what we had and I knew this would happen
I just thought me and you would have lasted"
Knife to her rise then she dropped to the floor
But right before she cut she heard a knock at the door.

She said: if you knew my secret I wounded what you'd say
I wonder if you'd leave and I wonder if you'd stay
I wounder if you'd see me in a different way (see me in a different way)
I think about it everyday
