Low-key

I'm staying silent

Low-key

I'm trying to hide it

Low-key

I still love you

From the day we met

I knew you'd be important

So I stuck around

Trying to figure you out

A puzzle with pieces in all the wrong places

I tried to friend-zone you

I tried to ignore you

Tried to forget you

But low-key

I knew I was falling in love with you

As time marched on

And we kept the music going

I tried to deny it

Tried to hide it

Tried to fight it

But it got too much

And when I was ready to admit it

You walked away

Away from me

And into her arms

Cause your feelings for her came from nowhere

At least that's what you told me

So I tried to move on

I tried to like other guys

But everywhere I looked

I saw boys whose smiles weren't as bright

Whose eyes didn't look right

The reason why is,

Low-key,

They weren't you

So when I say I hate you

Low-key

I mean I love you

When I say I hate your voice

Low-key

I love the way you say my name

The way it sounds coming from your lips

When I say it's fine that you don't love me back

Low-key?

I mean I love you to the moon and back

And I'd do anything for you to be happy

Because you deserve to smile

You deserve to laugh

You deserve so much better than I can give you

But you're all I want

But you'll never really know

How I really feel though

Cause I've been trying to keep it low-key
