[Verse 1]
You slide in late
Same old smile
Same doorway
“Just friends
Just friends”
But your hand finds mine in the hallway
You pour that drink
But your eyes pour all your secrets
Every joke we tell
Just covers how we mean it
[Pre-Chorus]
We talk in circles
But our bodies say it straight
You say “go home now”
But your footsteps hesitate
[Chorus]
Forbidden love
Worst kept secret
Everybody knows
We don’t speak it
Always us two at the end of the night
Always come back
Always feel right
I’ll wait for you
Look for me
Same dark corner of the same party
Forbidden love
Worst kept secret
But my heart keeps leaking it (oh)
[Verse 2]
You dance with her
I laugh too loud with someone
But every spin
I’m still facing where you come from
Your phone lights up
You pretend you didn’t see it
Then you mouth “five minutes”
Like a promise with a limit
[Pre-Chorus]
We’re almost honest
In the silence by the gate
You say “this can’t last”
But you’re leaning in too late
[Chorus]
Forbidden love
Worst kept secret
Everybody knows
We don’t speak it
Always us two at the end of the night
Always come back
Always feel right
I’ll wait for you
Look for me
Same dark corner of the same party
Forbidden love
Worst kept secret
But my heart keeps leaking it (yeah)
[Bridge]
If they turn on all the lights
Would we stay or would we hide?
Are we brave or just addicted
To this almost
Half-committed?
If I walked out
Would you follow?
Or save me for tomorrow?
[Chorus]
Forbidden love
Worst kept secret
Everybody knows
We don’t speak it
Always us two at the end of the night
Always come back
Always feel right
I’ll wait for you
Look for me
In every crowd
In every city
Forbidden love
Worst kept secret
But my heart keeps leaking it (leaking it)
Forbidden love
Worst kept secret
I’m your worst kept secret
