Lay your head on my pillow
Here you can be yourself
No one has to know what you are feeling
No one but me and you
I won't tell your secrets
Your secrets are safe with me
I will keep your secrets
Just think of me as the pages in your diary
I feel such a connection
Even when you're far away, mm
Oh baby, if there is anything that you fear (anything)

The song is about trust. The lyrics talk about a girl who really wants to connect and get to know this guy. She wants him to express his feelings, thoughts, and emotions to her. She emphasizes that she will keep his secrets all to herself. She wants him to trust her.
An incredible song. One of my favourites from Alicia. Yeah this song is definitely very personal and so intimate - such a bedroom song, hehe. It's a gorgeous song, so romantic and passionate. I love playing this on piano.. its a beautiful melody. She is just sooo talented, its amazing. Ive seen her live - shes just awesome!!!
Its about the intimacy in a relationship - the trust and sharing of 'secrets'.
Now i dont want to spoil the song for anyone, but i partly think it could be an affair that is being referred to and thus the constant reference to keeping secrets...
Having said that the references to secrets could just be emphasis of that crucial ingredient for a relationship - trust.
What I like about alicia keys especially in her early years is how raw sounding and even a bit raspy her voice was. And how she and her piano could tell a story all by themselves,without the backing tracks and up tempo beats. I miss that even today. But this song was really good. I saw it as not just about a connection, but about vulnerability. Even more so, a mans vunerability. Because men are seen as strong providers who bottle everything up. So I find it beautiful that A man can be human enough to be able to open up to a woman and I pride the fact that she respects his secrets by keeping them to herself. It will only bring them closer. Plus having Tony, Toni, Tone on the track only made it more convincing.
I loove this song! it means she feels so connected to him n he can tell her anything;they have such a close relationship.
Holy Molar! The piano in this song is amazing!
I havent found my "diary" yet. [LOL] But I'll keep looking.
Alicia Keys for life
This is my favourite song on her WHOLE album......2 good 2 good
i love this song too....its just that it got overplayed. and its tru, the piano rocks so hard in this song.
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!! THE PIANO IS SO BEAUTIFUL IN IT!
