Lyrics

I lean a little closer when I speak
Act casual, like it’s nothing to see
I play it smooth, pretend it’s light
Like this isn’t planned just right
I laugh it off, I change the subject
Like I don’t feel the effect
I let it seem like chance at play
Like I’m not steering it this way

I test the space between us
Like I’m unaware
But you stay calm and steady
Like you caught it all right there

I pretend you don’t notice
Every signal I send
Like I’m just being friendly
Like it doesn’t depend
I act like you’re unsure
Like you’re guessing my view
But I know you already know
Yeah, I know you do

I bring up stories I don’t mean
Just to see what your face reveals
I talk like nothing’s at stake
Like this isn’t a game I make
You let me lead, you let me play
Like you’re letting me have my way
But the calm you never lose
Shows me you’re not confused
I act like it’s unplanned
Like I don’t see your stance
But you’re standing steady
Like you never miss a chance

I pretend you don’t notice
Every signal I send
Like I’m just being friendly
Like it doesn’t depend
I act like you’re unsure
Like you’re guessing my view
But I know you already know
Yeah, I know you do

Maybe I like acting clever
Like I hold control
But the truth shows in your patience
You already know the role
You don’t rush, you don’t react
You let me play it slow
And that’s exactly how I know

You already know
I pretend you don’t notice
But you catch every cue
Every pause, every smile
Everything I do
I act like it’s a secret
Like I’m hiding my truth
But I know you already know
Yeah, I know you do

So let me keep pretending
Just a little more
We both know how this ends
Without saying it at all
