(Verse 1)

I see you every day, laughing, so carefree,

We talk about everything, but you don’t see me,

I hide behind my words, pretend I’m just fine,

But every time you’re near, I wish you’d be mine.

You talk about her, how she makes you smile,

And I nod along, pretending it’s all worthwhile,

But inside, I’m breaking, my heart’s torn apart,

I keep it all hidden, keeping it in the dark.

(Pre-Chorus)

I keep it locked away, all the things I feel,

It’s killing me inside, but I won’t let it heal,

I’ll smile and laugh, play the perfect friend,

But every moment with you feels like the end.

(Chorus)

I’m hiding all my feelings, drowning in the pain,

Pretending I’m okay, but I’m going insane,

I love you quietly, but you’ll never know,

I’ll keep this heartache locked below.

I’m screaming on the inside, but I’ll never let it show,

I’m dying to tell you, but I’ll never let you go.

(Verse 2)

You don’t see the way my heart beats fast,

When you’re close to me, when I feel it won’t last,

You’re just a friend, that’s what I’ll always say,

But in my heart, I wish you’d feel the same way.

I listen to your stories, watch you fall in love,

While I keep my distance, push it all above,

I wear a smile, but my soul’s in pain,

Loving you in silence, driving me insane.

(Pre-Chorus)

I keep it locked away, all the things I feel,

It’s killing me inside, but I won’t let it heal,

I’ll smile and laugh, play the perfect friend,

But every moment with you feels like the end.

(Chorus)

I’m hiding all my feelings, drowning in the pain,

Pretending I’m okay, but I’m going insane,

I love you quietly, but you’ll never know,

I’ll keep this heartache locked below.

I’m screaming on the inside, but I’ll never let it show,

I’m dying to tell you, but I’ll never let you go.

(Bridge)

Every word you say, every touch, every glance,

I wish I could reach out, take a chance,

But I’m stuck in this silence, my heart’s afraid,

To lose you forever, if the truth’s ever displayed.

(Chorus)

I’m hiding all my feelings, drowning in the pain,

Pretending I’m okay, but I’m going insane,

I love you quietly, but you’ll never know,

I’ll keep this heartache locked below.

I’m screaming on the inside, but I’ll never let it show,

I’m dying to tell you, but I’ll never let you go.

(Outro)

One day, I’ll let it all go,

But for now, I’ll keep this pain on hold,

I’ll love you silently, until the end,

Hiding my feelings, just a friend.
