Sometimes I wonder how you managed to move on?
After everything we went through
can you tell right from wrong?
It's madness, all this time
we were just puppets on a string
But for what? Just to please
and entertain the obsessed fling
It was a tale spun, headlines in the news
A forbidden, fabricated love
by a record label with no moral clues

Only we knew, the love we never shared
What we lived through, how much time we dared
The secrets we kept inside
The tears we cried
Only we knew, the love we never shared
What we lived through, how much time we dared
The secrets we kept inside
The tears we cried

It's amazing how they loved to exploit and sensationalize
Knew our "relationship" would make headlines rise
Meanwhile, you wanted to change me, convert my soul
Didn't mind not understanding, your role took its toll
And I just couldn't figure out how to cope
You ignored me, reaping benefits
abandoning hope

Only we know, the love we never had
What we experienced, the time we spent so sad
The secrets we've hidden
The tears we've shed
Only we know, the love we never had
What we experienced, the time we spent so sad
The secrets we've hidden
The tears we've shed

I told you it was wrong, you responded with disdain
You were used by them
but I was played twofold, just a game
Now looking back, I see the truth so clear
We were strangers, too far apart to be near
She wanted to love me despite the story they spun
As if her love could save us
under the same city's sun

Only we know, only we know
Only we know, only we know

She looked at me with desire, but I saw through the facade
Behind the makeup, the truth she tried to evade
Did she feel what I felt
or was it just a role she played?
In a hollow story, emotions masquerade
The true melody doesn't shine under lights so bright
It's here between us
only we can hear it right
