[Intro] (sparse electric piano) Don’t… [Verse 1] We still leave at different times But it don’t feel the same when I walk behind You say we should keep it quiet And I say okay, like I always do But there’s things I almost told you Last time we was in the car I opened my mouth, then I closed it ’Cause I wasn’t sure you’d want to hear how far It’s gone for me [Pre-Chorus] I can keep a secret I just don’t know if I can keep Pretendin’ this is all I need When I’m sittin’ with what I won’t say [Chorus] Don’t tell nobody What we was, what we almost was Don’t tell nobody I’ll act like it never touched Me the way it did But if you ask me how I feel Don’t tell nobody I might not know how to lie that still [Verse 2] I thought about callin’ you the other night Had the number up, then I put the phone down There’s a place we used to stop Now I drive past it and don’t pull in You never said you didn’t care I never asked you to say you did We both got good at leavin’ Things unfinished in the air between us [Pre-Chorus] I can keep a secret I just don’t know if I can keep Actin’ like the quiet is enough When I already know it ain’t [Chorus] Don’t tell nobody What we was, what we almost was Don’t tell nobody I’ll act like it never touched Me the way it did But if you ask me how I feel Don’t tell nobody I might not know how to lie that still [Bridge] I agreed to the quiet ’Cause I was scared of what you’d say If I asked you straight Now the quiet is the thing That’s makin’ it harder to know What any of it really was [Final Chorus] Don’t tell nobody (I won’t) What we was, what we almost was Don’t tell nobody I’ll keep it like you wanted But don’t ask me to pretend I didn’t want it said out loud Don’t tell nobody I’m still figurin’ out how to live with that [Outro] Yeah… I won’t say nothin’ (piano holds, then fades)
