Secret Love
Hunter Hayes Lyrics

We get so close but we never touch,
Although we are close to each other, we never touch or display any affection in public.

Gotta wear this mask for just long enough
We have to pretend not to be in love for a little while longer.

To get away from all the eyes that stare us down.
To avoid the disapproving stares of people around us.

Like two criminals with the dream to steal,
We're like two criminals who are planning to steal something but in our case, we're stealing moments of love.

Not a trace to be found of the way we feel.
We're keeping our emotions hidden from everybody else so that no one can sense that we're in love.

With our hearts on line, we give in and we get away.
Despite the risks, we take a chance and sacrifice everything to be together for even a short while.

Secret love, all the things we do,
We do a lot of things in secret because of our love for each other.

Secret love, baby me and you,
Our secret love is only between the two of us.

Got a secret love.
We have love that we keep from everyone else.

Stayin' under cover and out of sight,
We make sure that nobody sees us when we're together.

If nobody knows, then we're doin' it right.
If nobody knows about our secret love, it means we're doing everything right.

We're in love but nobody knows.
Despite being in love, nobody else knows about it.

When you're living a life that you gotta deny,
When you have to deny or hide your true feelings for someone just to keep other people happy or satisfied.

When you feel how we feel, but you gotta keep lying,
When you and your partner have feelings for each other but have to keep lying just to keep your relationship a secret from others.

It's only gonna mess you up inside.
Hiding your true feelings can be harmful and affect you emotionally.

When you walk by each other in a crowded room,
When you see each other in a public place but act like you don't know each other so that nobody else catches on.

And nobody sees how I'm looking at you,
We secretly look at each other but make sure nobody else sees us doing it.

But we'll meet in a minute at the rendezvous.
We have our secret meeting place where we can be together without anyone else knowing.

Only you know what I mean.
Only you understand the depth of our love and the reasons behind our secrecy.

Are we in love if nobody knows?
Even though no one else knows about our love, does it still mean that we are truly in love?

Well I guess it's a secret.
Our love may be a secret, but it's real.
