Best Kept Secret

[Verse 1] Your shoes are sitting by my doorway Your charger’s tangled by my bed You know exactly how I take my coffee You know the thoughts inside my head You’re here more nights than you are missing You reach for me before you wake You tell me I’m the one you’ve waited for So why am I the one you hide away? [Pre-Chorus] You say you’ve never felt this close You say there’s nothing you would change But every time the world gets near us Suddenly I don’t have a name [Chorus] How can I be your everything When nobody knows I’m anything? You hold me like you’ll never let me go Then leave me out of everything you show I know your body, know your heart But I don’t exist outside the dark You call me yours when no one else can hear it Tell me, baby Why am I your best kept secret? [Verse 2] I’ve never met the friends you talk about Your mother doesn’t know my name There’s not a single photograph of us Like loving me would bring you shame And I’ve defended you a hundred times You’re private, that’s just how you are But privacy is something we protect A secret’s something that we hide [Pre-Chorus] You say I’m all you ever wanted And maybe part of me believes But love shouldn’t disappear completely The second anybody sees [Chorus] How can I be your everything When nobody knows I’m anything? You hold me like you’ll never let me go Then leave me out of everything you show I know your body, know your heart But I don’t exist outside the dark You call me yours when no one else can hear it Tell me, baby Why am I your best kept secret? [Bridge] I don’t need a thousand pictures I don’t need the whole world in our lives I just wanna know you’re proud to love me When we step outside I don’t wanna be your hidden heaven The place you only come to late at night If I’m really everything you tell me Why can’t I exist there in the light? [Final Chorus] How can I be your everything When nobody knows I’m anything? Five nights a week you’re lying next to me But somehow I’m the one they never see I know your body, know your heart I’m tired of only mattering in the dark If you call me yours, then let somebody hear it I love you, baby But I won’t be your best kept secret [Outro] You said I was your everything I finally know that isn’t enough If nobody knows I’m anything Then maybe this isn’t love
