I know that you won't read this. I know you don't have this book in your library, and you never will. That's why, just like in this song, I'm keeping it to myself. But I felt like I should just put this out there.

Here we go
My life has been moving really slow
I don't know
How to show
My feelings for you
I think I know what I should do

I'll keep it to myself
I really want to tell you how I feel
But I've been burned too many times
So I'll keep it to myself
I'll shove my feelings down and bury them alive
Everyday, hoping that they'll die
I'm not going to tell you
I'm keeping it to myself

I hurts me, to know that
You're talking to someone else
I'm doing my best
But I can feel you slipping away
And I'm not sure
If my feelings for you are pure

But I'm going to keep it to myself
Won't tell nobody else
How I think I feel about you
I know that
No one matters like you do
And I'll always care for you
But I'm keeping it to myself
Keep it to myself

I don't want to hate you
I don't want to mess up what have
I treasure our friendship
Honestly it's all I got felt
But I can't help what happens to me when I'm around you
All the tempting things I want to do
But I'm terrified of testing the waters

So I'll keep it to myself
I'll bottle everything up
And ignore my heart
Even though my brain is saying not to
Dammit I think I love you
Although I can never be with you
I'm keeping it to myself
Keeping my feelings to myself

I lost a love I never had
Too bad
I could have had you if I opened my mouth
But I kept it to myself
