Verse 1
Yeah, I play it cool like I don’t feel a thing
Like my heart don’t move when I hear her name
I keep my distance, I keep it clean
Smile in the moment, bury the need
She talks about love like it’s nothing new
Like I’m just another friend passing through
If she knew the weight that I hold inside
She’d see the truth I keep disguised
Pre-Chorus
I don’t say too much, I don’t cross that line
I read every room, I read every sign
If I slip one word, it all could break
So I hold my breath every time she stays
Chorus
She’s the one I want, yeah, the one I choose
But she can’t know, I got too much to lose
So I keep it locked, yeah, I keep it numb
I act like she ain’t the one
She’s the one I want, but I play my role
Like my heart ain’t screaming when she gets close
If loving her’s wrong, I’ll take the run
She’s the one I want—but she can’t know one
Verse 2
Every late-night laugh hits deeper than it should
Every touch feels wrong ‘cause it feels too good
She leans on me like I’m safe ground
If she knew my thoughts, I’d let her down
I hear her talk ‘bout somebody else
I nod my head, but I’m losing myself
Jealousy quiet, pain on mute
I smile like I don’t feel the truth
Pre-Chorus
I don’t make moves, I don’t show my hand
I’m walking a wire I barely stand
One wrong step, one honest word
And I ruin everything we’ve earned
Chorus
She’s the one I want, yeah, the one I choose
But she can’t know, I got too much to lose
So I keep it locked, yeah, I keep it numb
I act like she ain’t the one
She’s the one I want, but I play my role
Like my heart ain’t screaming when she gets close
If loving her’s wrong, I’ll take the run
She’s the one I want—but she can’t know one
Bridge
If silence is the price I pay
I’ll wear it like it’s okay
I’d rather hurt alone than watch her fall
From knowing what I feel at all
Maybe one day, different time
Different truth, different line
But right now I just pretend
That I don’t want more than a friend
Final Chorus
She’s the one I want, yeah, it’s killing me slow
Every word I don’t say, every feeling I don’t show
I keep my heart where she won’t run
She’s the one I want
She’s the one I want, but I stay composed
Love on my tongue but my mouth stays closed
If this is pain, then this is love
She’s the one I want—but she can’t know love
Outro
So I smile
And I stay
Right beside her
Out of the way
