Lyrics
What He Doesn't Know
He doesn't know I found her number
On his credit card receipt
Or that I found those emails
That he forgot to delete
He doesn't know about the things
He thinks I didn't see
And what he doesn't know I know
Is killing me.
What he doesn't know won't hurt him
That's what we used to say
When we'd hide things from my daddy
Back in our younger days
I'm the one he thinks he's fooling
God, I never thought I'd be
What he doesn't know I know
Is killing me.
He doesn't know that I found out where
His car was parked last night
Or, that I saw them through the window
By the glow of the candlelight
He doesn't know I heard them on the phone
When he thought I was asleep
And, what he doesn't know I know
Is killing me.
What he doesn't know won't hurt him
That's what we used to say
When we'd hide things from my daddy
Back in our younger days
I'm the one he thinks he's fooling
God, I never thought I'd be
What he doesn't know I know
Is killing me.
(Bridge)
Did I take his love for granted
Was I not around enough
Is it my fault that he's looking
To someone else to love
Should I just confront him
Tell her everything I know
Do I try to win him back
Or do I try to let him go.
What he doesn't know won't hurt him
That's what we used to say
When we'd hide things from my daddy
Back in our younger days
I'm the one he thinks he's fooling
God, I never thought I'd be
What he doesn't know I know
Is killing me.
