[Verse 1]
You walk right past my day
Like I’m part of the wall
I know your favorite jacket
I know your laugh, that’s all
I keep my eyes on the floor
When you’re two steps away
My heart does stupid somersaults
Then hides before you stay
[Pre-Chorus]
I wrote your name in my phone
Then I deleted it
If I said one honest word
I’d probably not survive it
[Chorus]
You don’t know me at all
And that’s the safest thing
I like you way too much
To let that kind of truth ring
You’d say, “I don’t want you back”
And I’d break in the same breath
So I keep it in my chest
I keep it in my chest
[Verse 2]
You laugh with other people
And I pretend I’m fine
I count the seconds to the door
When you’re in my line
I wear my silence like a coat
Heavy in the rain
If wanting you is losing me
I’ll take the hurt again
[Pre-Chorus]
I know the shape of this
It ends before it starts
A little crush, a quiet room
A hand around my heart
[Chorus]
You don’t know me at all
And that’s the safest thing
I like you way too much
To let that kind of truth ring
You’d say, “I don’t want you back”
And I’d break in the same breath
So I keep it in my chest
I keep it in my chest
[Bridge]
Maybe in another life
I’d say your name out loud
Maybe you would turn to me
And look at me somehow
But this life leaves me here
With all this almost-love
I’ll be the girl who never speaks
And never ruins us
[Chorus]
You don’t know me at all
And that’s the safest thing
I like you way too much
To let that kind of truth ring
You’d say, “I don’t want you back”
And I’d break in the same breath
So I keep it in my chest
I keep it in my chest
