[Verse 1]
I was just fourteen, heart full of dreams
New shoes, shy smile, the whole world in front of me.
You walked those halls like a small-town prize
And I stood there frozen, every single time
You didn’t see me, but I saw it all
The way you strolled in, you held your head tall.
Your cologne hit the air and assaulted my senses
I would breathe you in like I was taking lessons.
[Pre-Chorus]
Your locker, was above mine
waited every day, right on time
Just to catch a glimpse, maybe meet your eyes
But you never knew, not even a “hi”
[Chorus]
He never knew I was writing his name
In a notebook heart I couldn’t explain
Every “what if” and “maybe someday”
Felt like forever in those hallways
He was my sky in a small-town school
While I played quiet and followed the rules
Love was a secret I never outgrew…
Way Back when he never knew
[Verse 2]
watched from afar, heart skipping beats
Every morning felt like a movie on repeat
You’d brush past, never knew I was there
But I memorized your smile, held it so dear
[Pre-Chorus]
But you were the boy the world revolved ’round
I was the girl lost deep in the crowd
Too shy to say what I really felt
So I kept quiet and dreamt to myself.
[Chorus]
He never knew I was writing his name
In a notebook heart I couldn’t explain
Every “what if” and “maybe someday”
Felt like forever in those hallways
He was my sky in a small-town school
While I played quiet and followed the rules
Love was a secret I never outgrew…
Way Back when he never knew
[Bridge]
And maybe I was just a shadow in the light
But you were the spark that lit up my nights
young hearts never fade
mine never strayed
[Final Chorus]
Christina Romero, written in the stars
Now we’re here with battle scars
But I’d go back, just to relive the thrill
Of loving you quiet, loving you still
From silent halls to vows we swore
You’re the boy I loved, and the boy I love still
