We Know, But We Don’t Say

Verse 1
Every time you walk my way
My heartbeat change, I give it away
I try to act like I don’t care
But my eyes tell it every stare
We talk ‘bout nothin’, dance around truth
But every word got me thinkin’ ‘bout you
It’s written all over the room
This feelin’ got nowhere to move

Pre-Chorus
I feel you when you feel me too
Like our hearts speak without a cue
We both know what this really is
But silence keeps our lips sealed shut

Chorus
We know, but we don’t say it
Feel it, but we don’t claim it
Every touch almost cross the line
But we pull back every time
Your smile say you feel the same
My name soft on your lips still flame
Yeah, this love loud but we play it quiet
We know, but we don’t say it

Verse 2
Late-night texts with the hidden meaning
Read between lines, I know what you meanin’
You ask me how my day been
But you really askin’ where my heart is
When our hands almost touch too long
I feel the truth in the pause we on
If love had a sound, it’d be this silence
Heavy, sweet, and violent

Pre-Chorus
We both stuck between wrong and right
Want each other, but scared of the light
So we stay right where we are
Close enough to feel, too far to start

Chorus
We know, but we don’t say it
Feel it, but we don’t claim it
Every touch almost cross the line
But we pull back every time
Your smile say you feel the same
My name soft on your lips still flame
Yeah, this love loud but we play it quiet
We know, but we don’t say it

Bridge (Soft, Confessional)
If I said your name with no disguise
Would you run or look me in my eyes?
If I crossed the line just once
Would you catch me or let me fall?
I don’t need forever right now
I just need the truth somehow
But until the timing feels okay
We let our hearts do all the sayin’

Final Chorus (Layered, Smooth)
We know, yeah we know it’s real
Every look confirm how we feel
Can’t say love, but it’s understood
Every moment feel too good
If the world ever give us space
I’d say it all to your face
Till then, we live in this quiet fire
We know… and we both desire

Outro
No words needed, you already see
Everything you are to me
We know…
But we don’t say it
