You looked at me like nothin's wrong
But your hands lingered way too long
Late nights, playin' games, shirt off
Felt your eyes undress me with a cough
We laughed it off, but I felt the heat
Like secrets dancing under sheets
You had her name, but I had your glance
A silent cry for just one chance

You were the lust I couldn't chase
Your truth was written on your face

Oh, the words I never dared to say
Are the ones that haunt me every day
You ran to her, I froze in place
Still feel your breath across my face
Oh, what I never said is burning under my skin

I knew the rules, I played pretend
Your voice got low when you said my name
But you turned away like it was a game
I saw the tremble behind your smile
And when you kissed her, I disappeared
But your silence still rings in my ears

We had a song, never played it loud
Now I'm singing to a ghost in the crowd

Oh, the words I never dared to say
Are the ones that haunt me every day
You ran to her, I froze in place
Still feel your breath across my face
What I never said is burning under my skin

Now I watch your life through screens
While I replay our teenage dreams
Would you have stayed if I had called it love?

Oh, the words I never dared to say
Are the ones that haunt me every day
You ran to her, I froze in place
Still feel your breath across my face
What I never said is burning under my skin
