Songs I like... (2 of 5)

Dirty Little Secret - The All-American Rejects

Let me know that I've done wrong
When I've known this all along

I go around a time or two

Just to waste my time with you


Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play

You are the only one that needs to know


I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you`ll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Who has to know


When we live such fragile lives

It's the best way we survive
I go around a time or two

Just to waste my time with you


Tell me all that you've thrown away
find out games you don't wanna play
you are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret

Who has to know

The way she feels inside (inside)

Those thoughts I can't deny (deny)
These sleeping dogs won't lie (won't lie)
And now I try to lie
It's eating me apart
Trace this life out

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)

Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret)

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret

(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret

Dirty little secret
Dirty little secret

Who has to know?

Who has to know?



My Thoughts...


I love the way Craig Gross and Mike Foster put it… “Addressing the elephant in the pews.” This song made me think about my dirty little secrets that I had. The secrets I took with me to "church," to home cell/life group, college…. Where ever I went I carried these dirty little secrets around and as Tyson says, they were eating me up inside. I just couldn’t seem to get any further in my relationships with individuals until I let someone in on my "dirty little secrets."

Ultimately, this song has taught me quite a deal about accountability. Because of this song, I’ve realized just what a difference REAL accountability makes. If someone says to that they’ll be your accountability partner, keep them to it!!! Sadly, it seems that so many Christians are prepared to have the title “Accountability Partner” but few are prepared to get their hands dirty.

If you want to help people with their dirty little secrets, you’re going to get your hands dirty… No way about it...

Were you challenged in any way by this song?
