Nobody Has to Know

You’re callin’ after midnight,

Sayin’ things you never say in the daylight.

She thinks you’re fast asleep —

But I know better, you’re just playin’ hide-and-seek.

I wear your jacket when you leave,

I memorize the way you breathe.

You said, “It’s just for now,”

But baby, tell me how that sounds?

We’re just a glitch in your timeline,

But I’m the one you text when you can’t lie.

I could blow it all apart…

But that ain’t who I am — at least not yet.

I’m your dirty little secret,

Locked away where she won’t see it.

You’re a song that I can’t sing out loud,

But I still hum it in the crowd.

I’m the ghost behind your smile,

And I’ve been waitin’ for a while…

So keep pretending no one knows —

But I do, and you do…

And nobody has to know.

You leave your hoodie in my bed,

Like some twisted proof inside my head.

I could turn this all around,

But you say “Don’t,” and I back down.

You make me feel like I’m insane,

Tell me I’m the one, then act the same.

I wear my heart in combat boots —

And babe, I never lose.

You got her name in your playlist,

But mine’s the one you can’t resist.

Yeah, I could ruin all your plans…

But who needs that when I’ve got the upper hand?

I’m your dirty little secret,

Traced in lipstick when you mean it.

You’re a thrill I’m not supposed to chase,

But I still crave your crooked face.

I’m the flicker in your flame,

The one you never dare to name…

So keep pretending no one knows —

But I do, and you do…

And nobody has to know.

Maybe one day, I’ll stop this game,

Erase your number, forget your name.

But ‘til then, I’m on your mind —

Right behind her every time.

I’m your dirty little secret,

And you love the way I keep it.

You’re a lie that feels like truth,

And I’m the sin you never lose.

I’m the shadow at your door,

The girl you always wanted more.

So keep pretending no one knows —

But I do, and you do…

And nobody has to know.
