Keep That to Yourself Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you see me out somewhere
And the world around you still goes quiet
Hope you keep that to yourself, leave me be and just sit in the silence
'Cause I meant every word that I said when we spoke back in August
And you didn't care then, so don't you dare try and pretend like you want this

[Chorus]
If your feelings come back the minute you see me
Hope it hurts, hope it burns
Hope you'll finally grieve me
'Cause I knew this would happen
Wore my favorite outfit
So you'd see what you're missin', live and in action
Wasted time and attention to beg you to love me
Every time I tried to heal, you'd just come back to haunt me
So don't look at me that way when I'm here with someone else
If you're finally hurting, you should keep that to yourself

[Verse 2]
Never thought you'd be a stranger
But you decided that's who you would be now
Don't know where you live or what you love
But ignorance is keeping me sane somehow
And I'll admit I spent months waiting just for this moment
And it kept me up at night that you're not even broken
So don't do this to me now that I switched my focus
And don't tell me I look good when you never used to notice
[Chorus]
If your feelings come back the minute you see me
Hope it hurts, hope it burns
Hope you'll finally grieve me
'Cause I knew this would happen
Wore my favorite outfit
So you'd see what you're missin', live and in action
Wasted time and attention to beg you to love me
Every time I tried to heal you'd just come back to haunt me
So don't look at me that way when I'm here with someone else
If you're finally hurting, you should keep that to yourself

[Bridge]
You look like you saw a ghost
It's difficult, I know, to watch someone forget all about you
And if you hear I'm keeping tabs, doesn't mean I still care
Or at least, not in the same way I used to
I think part of me is destined to love you forever
So we can't do this all again to not end up together
Please don't look at me that way when I'm here with someone else
I don't think I love him, I'm scared you can tell

[Outro]
I've grown up, you don't know me
I don't sit in your pocket and wait like I used to
Finally turned a page and I know it drives you crazy that I don't need you
So don't look at me that way when I'm happy by myself
If you're finally feeling guilty, keep that to yourself
