Secret

Verse 1 (Male Lead)
Velvet lights spill across your skin,
I’m drowning in the trouble you’re in.
You don’t call me yours, you just call me late,
Every touch feels holy, but it tastes like fate.

(Female: soft sighs / whispered “mmm…yeah” between lines)

⸻

Pre-Chorus (Male Lead, Female Echoes)
You pull me in, then fade away,
(Female: “fade away…” breathy echo)
I keep pretending I’m okay.
(Female: soft exhale)
But your shadow’s on me like perfume,
And I can’t escape this hotel room.
(Female: “can’t escape…” whispered under the last line)

⸻

Chorus (Male Lead, Female Layers)
If I’m just your secret, keep me in the dark,
(Female: hushed “in the dark”)
Whisper my name like a sinner in your heart.
(Female: gasped “heart…”)
I’ll play the part, I’ll make you believe—
Even if you never, never set me free.
(Female: echoed “set me free…” trailing off with breathy sighs)

⸻

Verse 2 (Male Lead, Female Hums)
Gold chains tangled on your nightstand glass,
(Female: low hum beneath line)
I’m a habit you can’t outlast.
Every lie tastes sweet when it’s from your tongue,
Every wrong feels right when the night is young.

(Female: “ohh…” whispered moan over the last line)

⸻

Pre-Chorus (Male Lead, Female Breath)
You don’t promise, you just take,
(Female: whispered “take…”)
Love me ‘til the morning breaks.
(Female: long exhale)
And when the daylight cuts through the haze,
I’ll still be chasing your mistakes.
(Female: echo “mistakes…” like a ghost note)

⸻

Chorus (Male Lead + Female Harmony)
If I’m just your secret, keep me in the dark,
(Female: harmonized “dark”)
Whisper my name like a sinner in your heart.
I’ll play the part, I’ll make you believe—
Even if you never, never set me free.
(Female: layered sighing “never free…”)

⸻

Bridge (Male Lead Spoken + Female Whisper)
(Whispered, airy — overlapping)
Male: Love me like I’m no one,
Female (whisper): “no one…”
Male: Break me like I’m someone.
Female (sigh): “mmm, someone…”
Male: I’ll stay if you need me,
Female (breathy): “need me…”
Male: Just bleed me completely.
Female (soft moan/exhale): “completely…”

⸻

Final Chorus (Both)
Male Lead: If I’m just your secret, don’t let it show,
Female (harmony): “don’t let it show…”
Male Lead: Say it once, and I’ll never let go.
Female (echo): “never let go…”
Male Lead: I’ll play the part, I’ll make you believe—
Both (layered falsetto + whisper): Even if you never, never set me free.

(Female ends with one long, breathy sigh fading out)
