He Doesn't Even Know

Verse

I see him walkin’ down the hallway, headphones on, lost in a dream,

He’s got that look, a little careless — like he’s floating in his own scene.

And I’m just a whisper in the crowd, trying not to make a sound,

But my heart’s too loud, it’s beating out, every time he’s around.

Pre-chorus

I rehearse the words I’ll never say,

Smile, then look the other way…

Chorus

He doesn’t even know,

How he turns my gray to gold.

How a single glance can light my soul,

And I can’t let it show.

He doesn’t even see,

What his laugh does to me.

So I’ll keep my secret close —

He doesn’t even know.

Verse

I write his name in little margins, like a song I’ll never play,

If he only knew the courage, that it takes to look his way.

Friends all say “just tell him now,” but I freeze up somehow,

‘Cause I’m scared if he ever knew, it might change what’s true right now.

Pre-chorus

So I hum our story in my head,

A love song he’s never read…

Chorus

He doesn’t even know,

How he turns my gray to gold.

How a single glance can light my soul,

And I can’t let it show.

He doesn’t even see,

What his laugh does to me.

So I’ll keep my secret close —

He doesn’t even know.

Bridge

Maybe someday, I’ll let it slip,

Maybe he’ll smile, maybe he’ll miss,

The way my eyes light up like this —

Or maybe I’ll just dream in silence.

Chorus

He doesn’t even know,

But I’m stronger now, I’m whole.

Maybe one day I’ll let it show,

But for now, I’ll let it go.

He doesn’t even see,

What his smile means to me.

Still, I’ll hold this secret close —

He doesn’t even know.

Outro

He doesn’t even know...

But maybe someday, he will. 💫
