Not My Story To Tell

Verse 1

Packed my notebook, walking down the hall

Saw you laughing by the gym-room wall

You were wearing that blue denim vest

The one I used to love the best

But you weren’t looking at me, no, not today

Your eyes were on someone else a few feet away

I guess the "us" we had just drifted to "we were"

And now I’m standing here, just your girl-best-friend-for-sure

Chorus

And I’m helping you pick out your favorite outfit

Trying to find the right words to say

Yeah, I’ll tell him that you think he’s funny

And I’ll hold your bag while you look his way

It’s a brand new kind of heartbreak, a quiet kind of pain

I’m just hiding all my feelings, singing in the rain

Funny how the girl who loved you best

Is now the one helping you pass the crush-test

Verse 2

You said he asked for your number at lunch

I put on a smile and said, "Yes! Congrats!"

While I’m praying the bus is going to be late

I see him joking around all the time

He’s nice, I guess, but he doesn't know you

Like I know you... he doesn't have a clue.

Chorus

And I’m helping you pick out your favorite outfit

Trying to find the right words to say

Yeah, I’ll tell him that you think he’s funny

And I’ll hold your bag while you look his way

It’s a brand new kind of heartbreak, a quiet kind of pain

I’m just hiding all my feelings, singing in the rain

Funny how the girl who loved you best

Is now the one helping you pass the crush-test

Bridge

I want to tell you, I swear I tried

But I’m terrified of what you’d say inside

You’re moving on, you’re looking at him

So I’ll keep my secret, keep my chances slim

I’ll just be your shoulder, I’ll be your friend

Even if it feels like the story’s over... at the end.

Chorus

Yeah, I’m helping you pick out your favorite outfit

Trying to find the right words to say

Yeah, I’ll tell him that you think he’s funny

And I’ll hold your bag while you look his way

It’s a brand new kind of heartbreak, a quiet kind of pain

I’m just hiding all my feelings, singing in the rain

Funny how the girl who loved you best

Is now the one helping you pass the crush-test

Outro

Yeah, I’ll tell him you like him...

I hope he knows how lucky he is.
