Just Between Us

Hey… can I say something I've never said

It's been living in the corners of my chest

I've been replaying all our talks, all our laughs

But lately, my thoughts been driftin' past that

I swear I tried to push it down, pretend

But every smile you give pulls me back again

I ain't tryna ruin what we've made so deep

But silence been louder than I ever dreamed

So if I speak now, don't turn away

Don't let this truth make us fade

I'm not askin' for more than you can give

Just need you to know how I really live

It's just between us, just between hearts

A secret I buried, now fallin' apart

I care too much to lie with a grin

I'm not askin' for love, just to let me in

Let me be real, let me be true

Even if it means I lose you

But don't let this change what we've become

'Cause you're still my one

Even if it's just

Just between us

I see you happy, and it makes me smile

But I ache in the quiet every once in a while

I don't want a fairytale, or to cross the line

I just don't wanna hide what's been mine

This ain't some game, it ain't a test

It's just my truth, I needed off my chest

If you say nothing, I'll still understand

But you'll always be the one who could've been

So if I speak now, don't turn away

Don't let this truth make us fade

I'm not askin' for more than you can give

Just need you to know how I really live

It's just between us, just between hearts

A secret I buried, now fallin' apart

I care too much to lie with a grin

I'm not askin' for love, just to let me in

Let me be real, let me be true

Even if it means I lose you

But don't let this change what we've become

'Cause you're still my one

Even if it's just

Just between us

I'd take the risk, I'd take the fall

Just to say I felt it all

Better a truth that shakes the air
