Don't Tell Anyone Lyrics
I wrote this lyric for you all by myself
What makes you think I need you
Or anybody else
When you see me walking
Just staring at my feet?
'Cause I'm not all about you
I'm already complete
I hope this doesn't make you cry
But I don't wanna make you mine
I told you for the millionth time
That I don't need you in my life
But you can see through me, yeah
How you get to me
You know I'm just a fraud
I'm just afraid
I feel the same
But don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone
I wake up thinking of you
And that wears me out
I try hard not to call you
But I can't do without
Hearing your voice tell me
That I am on your mind
It wouldn't work to rush this
I'll come around in time
I hope that you can understand
But now I don't know where I stand
I'd rather hide begind these walls
Pretending I don't care at all
But you can see through me, yeah
How you get to me
You know I'm just a fraud
I'm just afraid
I feel the same
But don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone
Life keeps going on
The world keeps spinning round
Can't we stop going in circles?
Am I afraid of what they'll say?
What you confuse to see
You and me?
But you can see through me, yeah
How you get to me
You know I'm just a fraud
I'm just afraid
I feel the same
But don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone
But you can see through me
(You can see through me)
How you get to me
(How you get to me)
You know I'm just a fraud
I'm just afraid
I feel the same
But don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone
What makes you think I need you
Or anybody else
When you see me walking
Just staring at my feet?
'Cause I'm not all about you
I'm already complete
But I don't wanna make you mine
I told you for the millionth time
That I don't need you in my life
How you get to me
You know I'm just a fraud
I'm just afraid
I feel the same
But don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone
And that wears me out
I try hard not to call you
But I can't do without
Hearing your voice tell me
That I am on your mind
It wouldn't work to rush this
I'll come around in time
But now I don't know where I stand
I'd rather hide begind these walls
Pretending I don't care at all
How you get to me
You know I'm just a fraud
I'm just afraid
I feel the same
But don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone
The world keeps spinning round
Can't we stop going in circles?
Am I afraid of what they'll say?
What you confuse to see
You and me?
How you get to me
You know I'm just a fraud
I'm just afraid
I feel the same
But don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone
(You can see through me)
How you get to me
(How you get to me)
You know I'm just a fraud
I'm just afraid
I feel the same
But don't tell anyone
Don't tell anyone

OMJ!!!!! THIS IS LIKE MY FAVORITE SONG!! its just so amazing.. idk something about makes me LLOOVVEE it.
uh...well it sounds sort of cliche. like "i really like you but don't tell anyone cuz it's humiliating"... at least that's how it sounds to me. i mean only a conceited person would sing this. a real guy in real love would not tell the girl he loves her but also imply her to not tell anyone... and god knows why.
well idk i like the catchiness of the song. it got stuck in my head. but yeah this song still sounds a little too snotty in a way... kinda makes me wanna slap the guy for being such a jerk of admitting everything to me and then totally throwing it off to the world that they should not know about us. i mean, think about what the girl has to go through - w/ ur ups and downs and emo quo!
I think that what this song actually is about is a guy who doesn't know if he likes this girl, and he's trying to put up a front of being a tough guy who doesn't need a girlfriend, but she sees through all that for who he really is. And he's asking her not to tell anyone that he isn't who he seems to be.
I think that this song is about a guy who likes a girl, but doesn't want people to know because maybe he's not supposed to like said girl???
I think this songs about a guy who fell in love with a heartbreaker.. he trying to protect himself but he cant help the fact he loves her, he tries to deny it and get out of the possibility of a relationship but is unable to because she has stolen his heart.
i love nicks voice when he was little, and now, i think he has the best voice out of all of them this song is about feeling insecure?
i think the song is about someone who might be popular or something and he finds out that someone who is not as popular likes him, and he reciprocate the feelings but doesn't want anyone to know because he's afraid of his reputation, even though the girl knows he likes her, and is asking her to not tell anyone and he's going to continue to act like he doesn't like her and ignore her.
I'm sure everyone's gonna hate me for suggesting this, but... anyone else think this could be about a guy? Maybe that's why it went unreleased?
This is 100% not an insult. I'm bi, so I wouldn't care.
The first time I heard this song, I had no idea it was by the Jonas Brothers, and that's just what I figured it was about. Then looked it up, and was like well geez, I guess not. XD But, who knows, it's possible, right? The lyrics just remind me of a lot of songs I've heard before about having to hide your sexuality.
prepares for maelstrom
sandcrab91, it wasn't unreleased. This song was on the It's About Time duel disk which my friend gotten off of ebay before the actual cd came out.
I think this is basically about one person pretending they don't like someone when really they do. I think it could be because he doesn't want other people to know, or maybe he may be afraid to just get to that step of a relationship because maybe they recently met each other. "It wouldn't work to rush this, I'll come around in time" "I'm just afraid I feel the same but don't tell anyone"
