  • Da-da, da-da-da-da

    Think I'd let you ruin me forever
    Laughing like a child, with your crooked grin
    I'd tell you how I feel if I was clever
    And my interest all consist of, if you, if you're, if you're interested

    I should probably just leave it alone
    'Cause I know that we're supposed to be friends
    We're friends, we're friends, we're friends, but

    Oh, I want you, but, I'll never tell you
    'Cause if I tell you, you could say I'm not the one
    You want, and I, I couldn't handle that
    So if I tell you, then promise me I can take it back
    Oh, can you promise that?
    Oh, can you promise that?

    Do you know what it's like to feel this fuckin' shy?
    Let me paint a picture for you, your voice keeps me up at night
    Do you know how it feels, pretend it's no big deal?
    When I'm looking up at you I make you laugh, and, oh, God, it feels like

    You only left about a minute ago
    But I already need to see you again
    Again, again, again, like

    Oh, I want you, but, I'll never tell you
    'Cause if I tell you, you could say I'm not the one
    You want, and I, I couldn't handle that
    So if I tell you, then promise me I can take it back
    Oh, can you promise that?
    Oh, can you promise that?
    Yeah, if I tell you, you promise me I can take it back
    Can you promise that?

    Wish I could tell you, I think about you all the time
    I like your hair, I like the way it's in your stupid eyes
    Wish I could tell you, you're with me everywhere I go
    You're in the rain, you're in my drink, you're in my cortisol
    Wish I could tell you, I think about you all the time
    I'm scared to death that I'll be wishing for you for the rest of my life
    I want you, I'll never tell you

    'Cause if I tell you, you could say I'm not the one
    You want, and I, I couldn't handle that
    So if I tell you, then promise me I can take it back
    Oh, I want you, but, I'll never tell you
    'Cause if I tell you, you could say I'm not the one
    You want, and I, I couldn't handle that
    So if I tell you, then promise me I can take it back
    Oh, can you promise that?
    Oh, can you promise that? Writer/s: Alexander Glantz, Bella Kay
