The Way I See You

Verse 1

You walk in like the morning light,

And every room bends toward your eyes.

You laugh and the whole world comes alive,

While I'm just another face passing by.

I memorize the way you speak,

The little cracks when your voice gets weak.

You don't know I've learned them all,

Like a prayer I never say at all.

Pre-Chorus

And maybe that's the tragedy,

You don't know what you mean to me.

Chorus

'Cause you'll never see me

The way I see you.

You'll never reach for my hand

The way I dream you do.

You'll never stay awake at night,

Tracing my name across your mind.

No, you'll never look my way

With the fire I can't hide.

I'm standing in your sunlight,

But you're looking through.

You'll never see me

The way I see you.

Verse 2

Someone else will steal your heart,

And I'll smile while it tears me apart.

You'll tell me all the things you feel,

Not knowing I'm the wound that never heals.

I'll be the shoulder, be the friend,

The one that's there until the end.

But never the one you're dying for,

Never the one you're waiting for.

Pre-Chorus

And maybe that's the cruelest truth,

I'm invisible to you.

Chorus

'Cause you'll never see me

The way I see you.

You'll never reach for my hand

The way I dream you do.

You'll never lose your breath for me,

Or wonder what our life could be.

No, you'll never look my way

With the love I'm falling through.

I'm standing in your sunlight,

But you're looking through.

You'll never see me

The way I see you.

Bridge

If I could borrow your eyes for a moment,

Would you finally understand?

Would you see every silent goodbye,

Every time I almost took your hand?

Would you hear all the words I swallowed,

Every "I love you" left unsaid?

Or would I still be just a shadow,

A ghost beside your bed?

Final Chorus

You'll never see me

The way I see you.

And maybe that's the lesson

I was never meant to choose.

You were always my forever,

I was never yours to lose.

So I'll keep all these feelings

Like scars beneath the blue.

You'll never see me...

The way I see you.

No...

You'll never love me

The way I love you.
