if anyone asked me i'd deny it (especially you) in addressing the public

everyone to their secrets
no one saw my cheek twitch
everyone to their dream world
where the past is never finished

if anyone asked me i’d deny it
and by that i especially mean you
i’d tell you i was too young, too wrong
to understand what i was going through

but i think about that twinkle
you held it for me in your eyes
that grin that makes me think of a Disney prince
the image pierces my insides

and now it’s half my age later
yet i still can’t feel the time
i pretend you are a dream i had
like a distant nursery rhyme

no one gets to know this secret
no soul has heard me speak your name
if anyone asked me i’d deny it
but i loved you all the same.
