Not much to say about this one!
... Oh. There's space for a solo, but as usual, I just didn't feel up to playing one. Imagine one?
You have a secret
That you don’t want me to know
But it’s the kind of thing
That’s always gonna show
Yeah it is something
That I always had foreseen
But it’s a little bit late to come clean
You could have told me
We’d have had an honest fight
But you kept up the act
Completely out of spite
Maintained your innocence
It was such an ugly scene
And it’s a little bit late to come clean
You started something
That you don’t know how to stop
You could have walked away
You could have let it drop
In the aftermath
You had a restless night
Now in the light of day
You want to make it right
I know you’re sorry
That’s not what I mean
It’s a little bit late to come clean

Why do the really dark songs always work so well with an uptempo, jaunty beat like this? The way the arrangement suddenly stops dead on "late" is a real knock-out punch, too.
And I'm really feeling those lyrics. Ouch.
@nancycunning Feb 2022
Wow. This is great. I like the lyrics a lot, and the music and the way you sing it fit so well. That first pause in the music sets the whole thing up, and some things you can't take back any more.

Tremendous lyric. Great force and flow. Catchy melody, and I'm enjoying your guitar and vocals, as always.
@janeg Feb 2022
Familiar situation to many of us. I think after FAWM it would be well worth adding that instrumental solo and making this a keeper.
@fuzzy Feb 2022
Wow, that was a real sweet imaginary solo there. :)
Seriously, though, those lyrics are savage.
Really good chord progression and vocal melody.
Nice vocal delivery for sure.
Great ending.
Nicely done!

Oh, man, this one hits home with me, and yeah, it was ugly all right. Not the delivery here, though, which has an effortless quality- it's a little moment, but the way you deliver 'drop' is exactly what I'm talking about, that and those little slides in "clean". Great performance, and excellent, efficient writing that does so much in a short amount of time.

You could have told me
We'd have had an honest fight.
Brilliant. This is a really well crafted lyric and the music fits it well. Nice production work too!

Love the song! "It’s a little bit late to come clean" is my favorite line, I think we have all been in that situation, one side or another. A nice upbeat pop rock song!
(...and that solo is amazing!)

I really like the chord progression here. That last verse hits hardest. Good stuff.
