Don't Tell Anyone

The acoustic guitar plays that riff once, and then this is where Nick starts singing!
I wrote this lyric for you, all by myself
What makes you think I need you, or anybody else?
But when you see me walking, just staring at my feet,
Cause I'm not all about you, I'm already complete.
Things get heavier at this part - the acoustic gets softer in volume, as the electric
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.
Here, the electric stops playing that first riff (the first one that I explained) &
But you can see through me (yeah)
And 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 electric guitar goes back to this riff after the first chorus comes to an end
I wake up thinking of you, and that weirds 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.
Once again, things get heavier at this part - the acoustic gets softer, as the electric
I hope that you can understand,
But now I don't know where I stand,
I'd rather hide behind these walls,
Pretending I don't care at all
And again, the electric stops playing the first riff & switches to playing the "bar"
But you can see through me (yeah)
And 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
Now, this is where it gets to be quite difficult (well, for the guitar soloist, anyway).
Life keeps going on,
The world keeps spinning 'round
Can't we stop going in circles?
What you confuse to see - you and me
After a short pause, the electric guitar plays this riff with distortion and the "delay"
But you can see through me (yeah)
And 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 chorus repeats once more, and the lead guitar does another (small) solo.
But you can see through me (yeah)
And 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
