Lyrics
How could you never tell me
Expressing surprise or disappointment that the person never disclosed something important.
Was it that sad
Questioning whether the undisclosed information was of a sad nature.
Did you wake up to me and never feel bad
Wondering if the person woke up beside the speaker without feeling remorse or guilt.
Oh if it hurts to hear it
Suggesting that revealing the undisclosed information might be painful for the speaker.
Does it hurt you
Asking if the revelation is painful for the person who kept the secret.
I hope it did and does
Expressing a desire for the person to feel pain and regret continuously.
Forever I hope it will
Expressing a wish for the pain and regret to persist indefinitely.
I found out about you
Revealing that the speaker has discovered information about the person.
And where you've been
Referring to the places the person has been and their actions while the speaker was unaware.
And what you've been doing when I was going to bed
Highlighting the contrast between the person's activities and the speaker going to bed.
I know you've danced in the shadows
Acknowledging that the person has engaged in secretive or hidden behavior.
And want to keep it from me
Suspecting that the person wants to conceal these actions from the speaker.
Now I know why you would never ever tell
Expressing understanding of why the person kept the secret, possibly due to fear or shame.
I know that hate is a strong word
Acknowledging that 'hate' is a strong emotion, but expressing intense negative feelings.
But I wish it was stronger
Expressing a desire for stronger negative emotions toward the person who kept the secret.
I know our deal is long term
Acknowledging a commitment or agreement with the person that is enduring.
But I wish it was longer
Expressing a wish for the commitment or agreement to be even more enduring.
I know that this is gonna hurt
Anticipating emotional pain from the forthcoming revelation of the secret.
But I wish I was stronger
Expressing a desire for personal strength in dealing with the emotional impact.
Did you go by another name
Questioning whether the person used a different name or identity.
Were you completely different
Asking if the person was fundamentally different in various aspects.
Or did you act for them like you acted to me
Wondering if the person's behavior towards others mirrored their behavior towards the speaker.
Do you care
Questioning the person's level of concern or care about the speaker's feelings.
I don't think you do
Expressing doubt about the person's caring nature.
Then again I don't think you ever really did
Stating a belief that the person never genuinely cared about the speaker.
I know that you've got your secrets
Acknowledging the existence of the person's secrets and their effective concealment.
You hid them well
Recognizing the person's skill in hiding their secrets.
But did you think your friends would never ever tell

Oh they did

Oh they will

You know exactly how it feels
