What You Never Know (Won't Hurt You) Lyrics

What you never know won't hurt you
What you never know won't lie
What you never know won't desert you
What you never know won't say goodbye

What you never know won't hurt you
What you never know won't lie
What you never know won't desert you
What you never know won't make you cry

I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you
*My heart's torn in two*
I'm falling for you

What you never know won't hurt you
What you never know won't lie
What you never know won't desert you
What you never know - unless you try

I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Lovely!

Simple, I guess, but I'm going to comment anyway. It's like an inward debate (hence the "my heart's torn in two.") She's falling in love with someone, but is trying to stay distanced, probably because of previous experiences of being hurt. It's easier not to try, since if she doesn't tell him how she feels, she'll never get hurt. But then she's really falling for him. At the end, I guess she decides to tell him - "what you never know - unless you try."

I love this. Means a lot to me. It's like when you like someone and you want to tell them but you're too scared about getting rejected. I guess everyone's felt that way.
