I've got a secret I wish I could spill
I've been an outlaw and I love the thrill
I try so hard to be good but I can't change me
May be a flower that was late to bloom
Can now turn all of the heads in the room
Sometimes it's hard to conceal the attention I need
The life I live can sound so wicked
Some broken hearts and burnin' bridges

If you only knew
Who I am by myself
You would think I'm somebody else
If you only knew
Who I was before now
You wouldn't let me leave the house, if you only knew

I've got some stories that are in the vault
'Cause trouble finds me and it's not my fault, I swear
There's evil thoughts in my mind I can say when I sing
The life I live's a real page turner
The songs I write just make y'all wonder

If you only knew
Who I am by myself
You would think I'm somebody else
If you only knew
Who I was before now
You wouldn't let me leave the house, if you only knew

Been the subject of a rumor or two
Some of it's fiction and some of it's true
But I ain't tellin' you

I bet you don't know how much hell I've raised
Was like a wild horse that they had to tame
I tried to follow the rules but I had to break free
The life I live can sound so wicked
Some broken hearts and burnin' bridges

If you only knew
Who I am by myself
You would think I'm somebody else
If you only knew
Who I was before now
You wouldn't let me leave the house
If you only knew
Who I am by myself
You would think I'm somebody else
If you only knew
Who I was before now
You wouldn't let me leave the house, if you only knew
