Darius Cole - When You Weren't Around

Intro

Girl, you don't know what happened

When you weren't around...

Verse 1

Your best friend started calling,

Saying she just wanted to talk.

One thing led to another,

Now we're sneaking after dark.

She knows that you're my woman,

She knows I call you mine.

But every time you leave me,

She's waiting on the other line.

Pre-Chorus

I know we're doing wrong,

But we keep carrying on.

Two people keeping secrets,

And the truth won't stay gone.

Chorus

When you weren't around,

She was coming over to see me.

When you weren't around,

She was saying that she needs me.

Your best friend knows my secrets,

And I know hers too.

But what happens when you find out

What we've been putting you through?

Verse 2

She wears that smile around you,

Acts like nothing's going on.

Sits beside you at the table,

Then calls me when she's gone.

You tell her all your problems,

You trust her with your heart.

But if you knew what happened,

You'd tear that friendship apart.

Pre-Chorus

I know we're doing wrong,

This secret can't last long.

Every time I see your face,

I know I've crossed the line.

Bridge

She was supposed to be your sister,

Someone you could trust.

Now we're hiding in the shadows,

Building lies on top of us.

I don't know how we'll explain it,

When the truth comes out someday.

But the secret that we're keeping

Won't stay buried anyway.

Final Chorus

When you weren't around,

She was coming over to see me.

When you weren't around,

She was saying that she needs me.

Your best friend knows my secrets,

And I know hers too.

But what happens when you find out

We've both been lying to you?

Outro

You think she's your best friend...

But you don't know what we've been doing.
