Paroles
[Verse 1]
im scared i dont know what to do
i hold it in, i hold it through
every smile feels like a test
i tuck my truth beneath my chest
[Pre-Chorus]
what if they look right through me
what if they turn away
i keep my mouth on lock
and swallow what i say
[Chorus]
tell no one, tell no one
my heart is shaking now
tell no one, tell no one
i don't know how
im gay gay gay
and i’m scared to say it loud
tell no one, tell no one
i'm terrified right now
[Verse 2]
what if they think i think they hot
what if they say i'm disgusting, what if they say a lot
i practice it alone at night
then lose the words when faces fight
[Pre-Chorus]
i want to breathe, i want to run
i want my life to start
but fear is standing in the door
with both hands on my heart
[Chorus]
tell no one, tell no one
my heart is shaking now
tell no one, tell no one
i don't know how
im gay gay gay
and i’m scared to say it loud
tell no one, tell no one
i'm terrified right now
[Bridge]
if i say it, will i lose my place
will love turn cold on my face
i'm still me in the shadowed room
waiting for a kinder bloom
[Final Chorus]
tell no one, tell no one
my heart is shaking now
tell no one, tell no one
i don't know how
im gay gay gay
but i want to make it proud
tell no one, tell no one
i'm stepping out somehow
im scared i dont know what to do
i hold it in, i hold it through
every smile feels like a test
i tuck my truth beneath my chest
[Pre-Chorus]
what if they look right through me
what if they turn away
i keep my mouth on lock
and swallow what i say
[Chorus]
tell no one, tell no one
my heart is shaking now
tell no one, tell no one
i don't know how
im gay gay gay
and i’m scared to say it loud
tell no one, tell no one
i'm terrified right now
[Verse 2]
what if they think i think they hot
what if they say i'm disgusting, what if they say a lot
i practice it alone at night
then lose the words when faces fight
[Pre-Chorus]
i want to breathe, i want to run
i want my life to start
but fear is standing in the door
with both hands on my heart
[Chorus]
tell no one, tell no one
my heart is shaking now
tell no one, tell no one
i don't know how
im gay gay gay
and i’m scared to say it loud
tell no one, tell no one
i'm terrified right now
[Bridge]
if i say it, will i lose my place
will love turn cold on my face
i'm still me in the shadowed room
waiting for a kinder bloom
[Final Chorus]
tell no one, tell no one
my heart is shaking now
tell no one, tell no one
i don't know how
im gay gay gay
but i want to make it proud
tell no one, tell no one
i'm stepping out somehow
Style de musique
Pop ballad with sparse piano, soft kick pulse, and atmospheric pads; verse stays close and vulnerable with fingerpicked keys and breathy doubles, pre-chorus lifts with stacked harmonies and a filtered rise, chorus opens wider with an aching melodic hook and gentle crowd-style backing on the anchor phrase. Add subtle reverse swells between lines, a delayed piano tail on key words, and a warm intimate mix with polished emotional sheen., sad
