He'll never know lyrics critique- pop/hiphop

It’s gotten complicated with you and me
Before if you opened your eyes you’d see
That I had fallen for you long ago
But I couldn’t show my feelings ….no
My feelings for you were oh so strong
They did feel right but seemed so wrong

Denying these feelings I tried to do,
Because back then you had asked me to
You seem to have pushed me away
Now I look back to that same day
Asking myself what went wrong
Trying to tell you through this song

It wasn’t the fact that I loved you so
There is something that you should know
I felt as if you were too good for me
But my love for you, you couldn’t see
The reason I was able to let you go
Was because I really loved you so

When I saw you from that first day
I couldn’t find the right words to say
And tell you how I really feel
Tell you my love for you was real
I’d stare with a dumb look on my face
But my heart would be as if in a race

I couldn’t tell you how I really felt
Cos you had feelings for someone else
Still to this day I ask myself why
I didn’t think you could make me cry
I tried to hold on and not give in
I tried to stand tall hold up my chin

From that day life seemed so unfair
The feelings you had for her
She didn’t share
But I would be the one to know
I couldn’t show my feelings….no
It seemed as if I had been beat
But I had to stand tall up on my feet

I tried to wear a smile each day
Hold back my feelings, lock them away
You didn’t see the pain inside
I bottled it up I let them hide
Just burry them deep within
From that day I learnt to let no one in

And therefore I would never get hurt
And tears won’t fall upon my shirt
Denying these feelings I tried to do,
Because back then you had asked me to
You seem to have pushed me away
Now I look back to that same day
Asking myself what went wrong
Trying to tell you through this song

I couldn’t tell you how I really felt
Cos you had feelings for someone else
Still to this day I ask myself why
I didn’t think you could make me cry
I tried to hold on and not give in
I tried to stand tall hold up my chin

Now I don’t know how I even feel
Are my feelings for you still real?
I know there down there deep inside
But like I said I just let them hide
Just burry them deep within
From that day I learnt to let no one in
And therefore I would never get hurt
And tears won’t fall upon my shirt
