Dear Diary Lyrics

[Chorus]
Dear diary
Today I saw a boy
And I wondered if he noticed me
He took my breath away

[Verse 1]
Dear diary
I can't get him off my mind
And it scares me 'cause I've never felt this way
No one in this world
Knows me better than you do
So diary, I'll confide in you

[Chorus]
Dear diary
Today I saw that boy
As he walked by, I thought he smiled at me

[Verse 2]
And I wondered
Does he know what's in my heart?
I tried to smile, but I could hardly breathe
Should I tell him how I feel
Or would that scare him away?
Diary, tell me what to do
Please tell me what to say
[Chorus]
Dear diary
One touch of his hand
Now I can't wait to see that boy again
He smiled
And I thought my heart could fly
Diary, do you think that we'll be more than friends?
I've got a feeling we'll be so much more than friends

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
