When Nobody Knows

كلمات الأغنية

[Verse 1] You keep your good shirt folded on the chair Your second phone face down beside the sink You say you’re just stopping by a friend But take the long way home before you leave I know the little pauses in your voice The names you never say around my friends You kiss my forehead like a practiced line Then check the lock and check it once again [Pre-Chorus] You can keep the story neat and small But I see what you hide between the walls [Chorus] Tell me what you do when nobody knows Who gets the side of you you never show? You leave your fingerprints all over the truth Then come back here and ask me to believe you I know your private little rules The quiet things you think you get to choose You can close the door, but I know What you do when nobody knows [Verse 2] Your Sunday voice is soft and charitable Your Tuesday hands don’t match the things you say You keep a clean white towel by the door Like little signs can wash the night away I’m done pretending not to read the room I hear the elevator after two You want the comfort waiting here at home While every secret gets a room with you [Pre-Chorus] You can keep the story neat and small But I see what you hide between the walls [Chorus] Tell me what you do when nobody knows Who gets the side of you you never show? You leave your fingerprints all over the truth Then come back here and ask me to believe you I know your private little rules The quiet things you think you get to choose You can close the door, but I know What you do when nobody knows [Bridge] Don’t say it’s nothing, don’t call it a mistake You had a dozen chances you could take I won’t keep your place warm while you decide Which version of yourself you want tonight [Final Chorus] Tell me what you do when nobody knows Who gets the side of you you never show? You leave your fingerprints all over the truth But I’m not saving any room for you I know your private little rules I won’t be one more thing you get to use You can close the door, but I know And I won’t need to know anymore [Outro] Nobody knows I know Nobody knows
