[Verse 1]
Sometimes I catch myself
Looking at you too long
Then I look away so quickly
And pretend that nothing's wrong (mm...)
You make me laugh so easily
You don't even have to try
And sometimes when you're talking
I forget to hide my smile (oh...)
The others don't seem to notice
Or maybe they just don't say
But I've started thinking things
I probably shouldn't think this way
[Pre-Chorus]
Like what if you held my hand?
What if you wanted me? (what if...)
What if one day you looked at me
The way I look at you?
Then I tell myself to stop
Because I know it's probably not true
You're my friend
And I don't want to lose you (no...)
[Chorus]
So I keep it to myself
This little secret in my heart
I imagine being your girl
Then I push the thought away (away...)
I don't think you'd see me like that
I'm just the girl who's always here
The one you laugh with
The one you talk to
The one who's always been your friend
But sometimes when we're alone
I let myself pretend
(just for a minute...)
[Verse 2]
I wonder what it'd feel like
If you asked me out someday
Would I know what I should say?
Would I probably look away? (probably...)
Would you put your hand in mine
When we're walking somewhere?
Would you call me beautiful
Like you actually meant it?
I know it sounds ridiculous
So I keep it in my head
Because if you don't feel the same
I'd rather not have it said
Maybe I'm not the kind of girl
A boy like you would choose
So I'll keep these little dreams
That nobody gets to lose (my little dream...)
[Pre-Chorus]
Because what if I tell you
And everything changes?
What if I lose the one person
I don't want to lose?
So I'll laugh when you tease me
And pretend my heart is fine
Even when I'm secretly wishing
You were holding my hand in mine (just once...)
[Chorus]
So I keep it to myself
This little secret in my heart
I imagine being your girl
Then I push the thought away
I don't think you'd see me like that
I'm just the girl who's always here
The one you laugh with
The one you talk to
The one who's always been your friend
But sometimes when we're alone
I let myself pretend
(maybe someday...)
[Bridge]
Maybe someday you'll notice
Maybe someday you'll know
Maybe someday I'll be brave enough
To tell you what I feel (maybe...)
But for now I'll keep your friendship
Because that's more than enough
Even if a little part of me
Still wishes it could be love
And if you never feel the same
I'll probably be okay
(I think...)
[Chorus]
So I'll keep it to myself
This little secret in my heart
I'll dream about being your girl
But I won't let it go too far
Because I don't think you'd choose me
And I'm scared to find out why
So I'll stay right here beside you
And keep pretending I'm alright (I'm alright...)
Maybe one day
You'll look at me differently
Until then you're my friend
And that's where I'll stay
Even if secretly
I wish you felt the same
(maybe someday...)
[Outro]
Maybe someday... (mm...)
Or maybe I'll just keep dreaming...
