The Weeknd – Secrets Lyrics

The Weeknd – Secrets Lyrics

Following “Secrets,” which explored a deceptive love interest, “True Colors” by The Weeknd is about learning who this female really is, not who she wants Abel to think she is. The monogamous themes explored throughout the project also continue to be expressed through this track. Abel uses the imagery of colors, or the lack thereof, as an extended metaphor throughout this track.

[Verse 1]
Everybody here wants you
My love, my love
And I know that you want ’em too
My love, my love
I ask you what your heart desires
My love, my love
You tell me I’m the only one
My love, my love

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a lie, a lie
I catch you every time
In your lies, your lies
Every time you close your eyes
[Chorus]
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you’re talkin’ in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep, keep, keep
When you’re talk, talkin’, talkin’
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you’re talkin’ in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep, keep, keep
When you’re talk, talkin’, talkin’

[Verse 2]
You told me not to worry ’bout
Those guys, those guys
You told me that you left it all
Behind, behind

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a lie, a lie
I catch you every time
In your lies, your lies
Every time you close your eyes

[Chorus]
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you’re talkin’ in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep, keep, keep
When you’re talk, talkin’, talkin’
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you’re talkin’ in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep, keep, keep
When you’re talk, talkin’, talkin’
[Chorus]
Girl, come show me your true colors
Paint me a picture with your true colors
These are the questions of a new lover
True colors, true colors (Oh, baby)
Girl, come show me your true colors (True)
Paint me a picture with your true colors (True)
These are confessions of a new lover (True)
True colors

[Bridge]
Baby, show me you’re a keeper (Hey, oh)
It’s been hard for me to keep up (Oh)
You’ve been tryna keep me in the dark (Oh)
But, baby girl, I see you (Oh)
Baby, show me you’re a keeper (Show me you’re a keeper)
It’s been hard for me to keep up (Hard for me to keep up)
You’ve been tryna keep me in the dark (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
But, baby girl, I see you, yeah

[Chorus]
Girl, come show me your true colors
Paint me a picture with your true colors
These are the questions of a new lover
True colors, true colors
Girl, come show me your true colors
Paint me a picture with your true colors
These are confessions of a new lover
True colors, true colors
