Everyone Knows Except You

(Verse 1)

We’ve been talking for a very long time,

Playing it cool while losing my mind,

Same long walks with everyone around,

But I only hear your voice in every sound,

You laugh and smile whenever I speak,

And I lose my cool, feel my body go weak,

Keep it locked inside, never let it show,

But somehow everyone already seems to know,

(Pre-Chorus)

They all look at me when you say my name,

Like I’m hiding a truth I can’t contain,

I laugh it off but my smile won’t lie,

Cause every little move just gives me away inside,

(Chorus)

Everyone knows but her,

Every word I say comes out a blur,

Every look I try to hide,

Every time you’re right by my side,

Everyone sees it, it’s too clear,

The way I want you standing right here,

I guess my heart just tells the truth,

Everyone knows… everyone except you,

(Verse 2)

They joke about it when you’re gone,

They always say “you’ve liked her all along,”

I shake my head, say “that’s not true,”

But my face gives more than I want it to,

Whenever you talk about some other guy,

I laugh it off but it kills me inside,

Say “he’s alright,” like it don’t mean much,

But I feel every word when you bring him up,

(Pre-Chorus)

They all nudge me when you walk by,

Like they’re watching every move of mine,

And I’m trying so hard to act like I don’t care,

But I still feel like love is in the air,

(Chorus)

Everyone knows but her,

Every time I speak, I lose my words,

Every smile I just can’t control,

Every second near you feels like gold,

Everyone sees it clear,

The way I wish you’d just come near,

I guess my heart just tells the truth,

Everyone knows… everyone except you,

(Verse 3)

Late night talks on FaceTime with you,

Hours pass by, I stay up just for you,

You say “you get me” like no one else,

And I keep that line all to myself,

If love was loud you’d hear me scream,

But mine stays quiet, I’m stuck in between,

Right in front but out of view,

Like it’s written everywhere, but you don’t have a clue,

(Bridge)

I’ve been right here this whole time,

Hiding the truth of how I feel between the lines,

Every second, Every day, every year,

Wishing that you would see me clear,

If I told you how I really feel, do you think it would change it all?

Or would we just fade and let it all fall?

I’m standing here with so many words to say,

I’m just scared you’d turn and walk away

(Breakdown)

And I wonder if you’d notice me,

If I stopped being everything you expect me to be,

If I pulled away, and gave you space,

Would you finally see my place?

(Final Chorus)

Everyone knows but her,

Every sign, every look, every move I make,

All the times I stayed too long,

All the ways I played it strong,

Everyone else sees it clear,

That I’ve wanted you for all these years,

I guess my heart just tells the truth,

Everyone knows… everyone except you,

Everyone but you,

But you,

(Outro)

All the signs I never tried to hide,

All the times I kept it all inside,

My feelings for you, they are all true,

Yeah, everyone knows except you,

Everyone but you,

Everyone but you,
