Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear, this one you'll save
Better lock it in your pocket
Takin' this one to the grave
If I show you, then I know you
Won't tell what I said
'Cause two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead
Why do you smile
Like you've been told a secret
Now you're tellin' lies
'Cause you have sworn to keep it
But no one keeps a secret
No one keeps a secret
Why when we do our darkest deeds
Do we tell?
They burn in our brains
Become a living hell
'Cause everybody tells
Everyone tells
Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear, this one you'll save
Better lock it in your pocket
Takin' this one to the grave
If I show you, then I know you
Won't tell what I said
'Cause two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead
Look into my eyes
Now you're getting sleepy
Are you hypnotized
By secrets that you're keeping?
I know what you're keeping
I know what you're keeping
Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear, this one you'll save
Better lock it in your pocket
Takin' this one to the grave
If I show you, then I know you
Won't tell what I said
'Cause two can keep a secret
If one of them is dead
"Allison?"
"Yes, Catherine"
"I have something I want to tell you, but
You have to promise to never tell anyone"
"I promise"
"Do you swear on your life?"
"I swear on my life"
You swore you'd never tell
You swore you'd never tell
You swore you'd never tell
You swore you'd never tell
Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear, this one you'll save
Better lock it in your pocket

Alright, lets disect this shit.
got a secret. can you keep it? swear this one you'll save. better lock it in your pocket, taking this one to the grave. if i show you, then i know you wont tell what i said. because two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.
First verse is basically establishing the gothic (ish) vibe in the song. The singer's saying that the secret must be kept secret, or basically she'll kill the other girl.
why do you smile like you've been told a secret? now you're telling lies, because you just want to keep it. but no one keeps a secret. no one keeps a secret.
Second verse is about the other girl being told a secret. The singer saying that no one keeps a secret.
why when do our darkest deeds do we tell? they burn in our brains, become a living hell. because everybody tells. everybody tells.
The rest is probably easy enough to figure out. The songs basically straight foward and east to get. Has to be one of my favourite songs right now.
Third verse is questioning why we share our secrets. How they become a burden in our own minds as we think about them over, and over, until we can't bear it and tell someone.
It's been a popular song as of late. I like it and the band.
