[Verse 1]
I used to tell you everything
The stupid little things
Who I liked, who I didn't
Every silly little thing
You'd listen when I'd talk
Even when I talked too much
You always seemed to know
When I needed someone
There was always someone I could call
Someone who would understand
I'd talk about the boys
And you'd just sit and listen
Now you ask me what's going on
And I just shake my head
Say it's nothing
Say I'm tired
And change the subject instead
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know when it changed
I don't know how it got this far
I just know I used to tell you everything
Now I don't know where to start
[Chorus]
There are things I don't tell you
Things I don't know how to say
I tell you that I'm happy
Then I look the other way
You used to know my secrets
You used to know my heart
Now I'm standing right beside you
And somehow we're worlds apart
You know me better than most
That's what makes this so hard
Because I know you'd see straight through me
If I let you get that far
(I can't...)
[Verse 2]
We still have our stupid fights
We still know how to annoy
Sometimes I walk away
Before I say too much
But you can see I'm different
Even when I say I'm fine
And sometimes you don't ask me
Like you already know the lie
There are people I still think about
People I don't see enough
And one of you still looks at me
Like you remember who I was
Before I started hiding
Before I learned to pretend
Before saying "I'm alright"
Was easier than letting you in
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep making excuses
Keep saying I'm okay
But every time I push you back
I miss you more the next day
[Chorus]
There are things I don't tell you
Things I don't know how to say
I tell you that I'm happy
Then I look the other way
You used to know my secrets
You used to know my heart
Now I'm standing right beside you
And somehow we're worlds apart
You know when something's wrong
Before I even say a word
And that's the part that scares me
Because you might already know
(don't look at me...)
[Bridge]
Maybe you think I've changed
Maybe you think I don't care
Maybe you've wondered where I've gone
When I'm standing right there
I haven't stopped loving you
I haven't stopped needing you
I just don't know how to explain
What I don't understand myself
I wish I could sit beside you
Like I used to do before
Tell you about the stupid things
Tell you who I liked
And not be scared anymore
[Chorus]
There are things I don't tell you
And I hate the way that feels
I'm telling everyone I'm happy
Because I need it to be real
You used to know my secrets
You used to know me best
And maybe that's what hurts the most
I can't tell you this one yet
But if I ever find the words
If I ever let you in
I hope you'll still be there
Like you always were back then
(please still be there...)
[Outro]
I miss talking to you
About everything and nothing
I miss being the girl
Who could tell you anything
Before I had something to hide
(I'm still here...)
