Phora - Secrets Lyrics






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, popping pills, or sucking dick...
More like the type to show up to class
An hour early, never wearing shorts that's showing her ass
Got a 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 wished 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 n everyday he's drunk
They hardly talk, so when she gets to the house
She goes straight to her room and she 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 got a long way to go
But she keeps her head so high you'd prolly never know
What she had to go through for so long
Yo, 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 wonder if you'd see me in a different way
It's hard to hold this in, I think about it every day..."
Yeah, I wonder what you'd say...
I wonder if you'd see me in a different way...
I think about it every day...

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 so hard 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'm a steal it"
So twelve months passed and ever since he said that
She been in love, but everybody has their setbacks
Slowly but surely he was fading away
While she was falling deeper for him and she waited for days
For him to call her like he always did, but five days went by and
If you listen closely you can hear her still crying
She wrote on paper saying, I'm sorry
I just wish you knew you're 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...
Yo, 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 ODs on the very thing that broke us to pieces...
You were the only person 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
Yo, I just thought me and you would've lasted
Knife to her wrist as she dropped to the floor
But right be before she cut she heard a knock at the door

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 wonder if you'd see me in a different way
It's hard to hold this in, I think about it every day"
Yeah, I wonder what you'd say
I wonder if you'd see me in a different way...
I think about it every day...

  29. i.... J....

    Phora is life🙏

  30. S.... ....

    Who knocked on the door? xD  Love this song

    S.... ....

    Shadowhop how’s it funny

  31. b.... m....

    this shit explains me alot

  32. Y.... Y....

    You can't say it's you and shit the girl was molested by her dad how can you say you relate to this because you don't know how to be in a relationship. It's a song about a girl who is truly broken... just wish some people could see into the lyrics. (Reading these comment I thought they sounded so stuipid and edgy but most people will see this one that way)

    Y.... Y....

    Yes Yes my girl sent me this song she has the same story as this girl in the song, she's truly broken by her past. I know she wants to tell me something and a couple weeks ago she hide marks on her arm that her dad gave to her. She said oh he just hit me, Im starting to suspect that she was raped but she doesn't get love from anyone except me, I really do love her and I'm always there for her but this song relates too much to our relationship. Either way I wouldn't leave if she got raped by her father, I can honestly say I can relate

  33. b.... A....

    For those who don't understand this song, her dad rapped her for 6 years and her mom was a drug addict and is in jail

  34. c.... f....

    Why is this song exactly like my life....???

  35. A.... O....

    The only thing I’m wondering was... who was knocking at the door before she cut?

    A.... O....

    Plus why the fuck would anyone dislike phora’s music?? I listen to your music everyday man it gets me through life.

    A.... O....

    Ashleigh Orndoff most likely her father , in phora’s song “with love” joey dies . Pretty sure it’s the same Joey

  36. k.... l....

    She know she got a long way to go, but she keeps her head so high you'd probably never even know. 🙏🏼

  37. p.... p....

    This is so me

  38. N.... T....

    ...all the lyrics are relatable to my life

  39. L.... S....

    Skirt skirt bitch I fucks

  40. I.... S....

  63. L.... M....

    Dang it's like explaining the other side of something I went through in the song I'm like joey I was close to this girl who had a hard time to express her feelings & I would try my hardest to make her happy & be with her & I'd always make her blush giving her compliments & she would usually say thanks & sweet stuff but I felt she didn't feel the same & ever since this song reminds me of her & wonder what would of happened if I just stayed 💘

  64. V.... F....

    it keeps me thinking about life

  65. J.... S....

    for you who can truly relate i give you respect fuck all of you saying they relate cause of money or being left. this is for a true fuckin person who truly been hurt and had their child hood taken before you could chose who to give it too

  66. A.... D....

  75. H.... ....

    Am I the only one wondering who knocked on the door?

    H.... ....

    Hannah Anderson bro rt

    H.... ....

    Hannah Anderson Joey maybe

    H.... ....

    Her mom

    H.... ....

    Fr ive been trying to figure it out since the song came out and i still dont know who

    H.... ....

    The person who knocked on the door was actually her drunken father since he has been raping and molesting her for the past 6 years

  76. E.... M....

    THIS NEEDS MORE LYRICS I WAMT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

    E.... M....

    Edward Martinez if you listen to the song "with love" he talks about Joey

  77. N.... Q....

    what's this instrumental?

  78. l.... l....

    who knocked on the door?

    l.... l....

    Yeah it is

    l.... l....

    goof nugget maybe it's JoEY

    l.... l....

    Everything Junkie who's joey?

    l.... l....

    your jerk mom

    l.... l....

    goof nugget joey is the the boy who liked her but then he lost feelings for her

  79. A.... A....

    wait..the end confused me? is the boy she loved the one who knocks before she does it or was it someone else? idk 😂 amazing song though. im just gonna think positive and say it was the cops who came to arrest her father because joey for the last 5 days was collecting evidence against him and stuff because he had an idea of what was going on. even though I know its not what happened

    A.... A....

    We can only hope that.. Hope it's not her drunken father again..

  80. L.... C....

    i love this

  81. D.... C....

    I love the way he expresses himself ❤❤❤

  82. A.... ....

    A lot of people dont get the meaning of this song

    A.... ....

    Enlighten me my nigga

    A.... ....

    Arch your sooo right and it kinda makes me mad how people try to say they relate when they have no idea, the need to listen to the words

    A.... ....

    I hate it when people act like there's a deep meaning but never explains it because there is none and he's telling us. Like is there a Easter Egg in his song like tf are you guys talking about.

    A.... ....

    χχχ -VIBE- The girl the song is about is wanting to commit suicide because her father would rape her and she told her mom but she did nothing about it. There is a very deep meaning.

    A.... ....

    Arch serio you could only relate if you went thru something like this it’s sad how boys don’t give

  83. n.... R....

    this song says a lot to me

  84. p.... b....

    M.... T....

    Marilin Tapia you know the song is literally talking about the dad rape her and how she was scared to love anyone and slowly pushes away the person that loves her the most and kills herself in the end, it's sad the amount of people that try to say they relate but really can never imagine what people really go through

    M.... T....

    freggin neptune You couln't of said it better, agreed

  95. M.... A....

    This song is for me my dad's always drunk and my mom's in jail. I also got hit on by a boy but then he broke me.
