Uncontrollably, I've come to grow fond of you
And so I bite my nails
Wondering how to tell you
But what if you don't hear me
Let it stay a mystery
So predictably, my cheeks are burning red
And I pray that all my fragile words aren't misread
It's the most frightening thing
To have you running 'round in my head
I'm runnin' out of breath
So I stay silent
And I'll try to hide it
Forget what you've heard
Won't say a word
I will stay silent
So I stay silent
And I'll try to hide it
But you said it first
Gave me your word
Cut through the silence
Became defenseless, tore down my walls just for you
And it was perfect 'til you did exactly
What I thought you could never do
Tried to convince myself, no it can't be true
He couldn't have done that to you
I never understood how you said you loved me
But at that point tainted love was all I knew
It was all you ever showed me
Kept my big old secret as I ran around the sun
But every orbit told me I should just move on
I stay silent
As if nothing happened
Don't say a word
You're a big girl
I just stay silent
So I stay silent
As if nothing happened
Don't say a word
You're a big girl
I just stay silent
Now it all simply
Sits there in the past
And you live your life
As if nothing ever happened
And even with all the damage that you've caused me
I stay silent
As if nothing happened
Don't say a word
I'm a big girl
I just stay silent
I stay silent
While I keep fighting
The world isn't fair
And he'll never care
So I just stay silent
