Verse 1
I know your favourite coffee order,
I know the stories that you hide.
I know the little things that hurt you,
The things you never say out loud.
You laugh and push your hair back,
Brown eyes looking straight at mine.
And for a second I forget
The line I promised not to cross.
You’re my best friend,
You’re my safe place.
The person I call when the world gets loud.
And maybe that’s the problem…
Because I don’t know when
I started feeling this way.
Pre-Chorus
I have a life that I love,
Someone who holds my hand.
A future I can picture,
A person who understands.
So why does my heart get quiet
Every time you walk inside?
Why does something feel different
When you look at me and smile?
Chorus
Because you’re the girl I never told,
The secret I never meant to hold.
The name that stays inside my head
When I’m lying awake alone.
You don’t know what you do to me,
My boyfriend doesn’t know a thing.
And I hate that something beautiful
Can feel so complicated.
You’re just my best friend,
That’s what I say.
But my heart keeps giving me away.
You’re the girl I never told,
The story nobody knows.
Verse 2
I don’t want to hurt anybody,
I don’t want to lose what I have.
I don’t want to turn a friendship
Into something I can’t take back.
You tell me about your day,
You tell me about your dreams.
And I’m smiling like I always do
While hiding what it means.
Maybe it’s just admiration,
Maybe it’s something I’ll outgrow.
Maybe I’m just scared because
I found a feeling I don’t know.
But every time you say my name,
Every time you pull me close,
There’s a tiny part of me
That wishes you could know.
Pre-Chorus
I’m not looking for a reason
To break somebody’s heart.
I’m just trying to understand
This confusing little part.
Because love isn’t always simple,
It doesn’t follow rules.
Sometimes the hardest feelings
Are the ones you never choose.
Chorus
Because you’re the girl I never told,
The secret I never meant to hold.
The person who can make me smile
When I’m trying not to show.
You don’t know what you do to me,
And maybe you never will.
Maybe this is just a feeling
I have to learn to sit with still.
You’re my best friend,
My favourite face.
A beautiful mistake I never made.
You’re the girl I never told,
The story nobody knows.
Bridge
If I could take my heart apart,
I’d show you every piece.
I’d show you there was never a plan,
There was never meant to be.
You were never a replacement,
You were never something wrong.
You were just someone who appeared
And made me question where I belong.
Maybe one day I’ll understand
Why this found me now.
Maybe some feelings aren’t meant to stay,
Maybe some just show you how.
Final Chorus
You’re the girl I never told,
The secret I learned to hold.
Not because you weren’t important,
But because you mean too much to lose.
I’ll still be your best friend,
I’ll still be by your side.
Even if there’s a little part of me
I keep hidden deep inside.
You’re the girl I never told,
The chapter I n
