Discover the story of the song > Diary Unplugged – Alicia Keys

In these lyrics, the protagonist is telling her partner that he can trust her with his secrets. She wants him to feel comfortable and safe with her, and promises to keep his secrets just between them. Even when he's not physically there, she still feels a strong connection to him. If he ever needs someone to talk to or is feeling afraid, she wants him to reach out to her and she'll be there to support him. She emphasizes that she won't tell anyone else about his secrets and wants him to think of her as the pages in his diary. The protagonist asks him to come see her when he's in town and promises to be loyal and trustworthy. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the protagonist reassuring him that she won't reveal his secrets because she loves and needs him.
