Lyrics

He can’t say your name
But you shout his from the hills
You fell in love with a con-man who’s just practicing his skills
I feel so ashamed
Didn’t know I took your place
You forgive, you forget, but you live in regret, and he’s just saving face
So he takes you to Monaco
And he buys you designer clothes
Hiding things that you’ll never know
That’s how the story goes
And he lies through his pearly teeth
Makes a villain of me
You used to hold all my jealousy, now you just have my pity
We could’ve been friends
If he wasn’t the one
You fell in love with an Icarus, and he got too close to the sun
A poor excuse of a man
Who hides behind his words
He touches you in the same white car that he hit me where it hurts
Still, he takes you to Monaco
And you think that you’ll let it go
You’re just soothing your own ego
That’s how the story goes
And you lie through your pearly teeth
Tell yourself that you’re happy
‘Cause you know that you’ll never be
You have my pity
Let him go, let him go
Why can’t you let him go?
Let him go(x4)
Someday you’ll be in Monaco
Wearing all your designer clothes
And he’ll finally let you go
And I’ll say, “I told you so”

Lyrics

I used to hear your favorite band on my free time
So we can play it in your car and scream the rhymes
Used to imagine what would happen if you were mine
My friends would ask, what's with the sexual tension?
The bubble made of love and fear of rejection
They saw right through my masochistic obsession
No, we weren't together, but it felt like it
I was jealous, you were possessive, what's the difference?
I wish I could still be your Secret Lovergirl
When we weren't just friends cause the lines were way too blurred
I know, you know, we know, it's not the same anymore
You said it's over and you walked right out the door
So now I'm not your Secret Lovergirl anymore
I miss the way the sunlight painted you golden
Our smiles kept the secrets that we're still holdin'
I know we're over, but I swear I'm still hopin'
No, we weren't together, but it felt like it
I was jealous, you were possessive, what's the difference?
I wish I could still be your Secret Lovergirl
When we weren't just friends cause the lines were way too blurred
I know, you know, we know, it's not the same anymore
You said it's over and you walked right out the door
So now I'm not your Secret Lovergirl anymore
I really miss you
Miss what we had too
Seventeen, everything felt so new
I wish we could still be in your car singing
Holding on to something bigger than we could ever be
I wish I could still be your Secret Lovergirl
When we weren't just friends cause the lines were way too blurred
I know, you know, we know, it's not the same anymore
You said it's over and you walked right out the door
So now I'm not your Secret Lovergirl anymore
