I see the way you light up
When she walks into the room
You don’t even notice
How my smile hides the truth
I laugh with you like nothing's wrong
But inside, I don't belong
To the world where you and I
Are more than just a passing high
Every word you say about her
Burns a little deeper
But I nod, and play along
Even though it feels so wrong
You look at her like she's your sky
While I stand quietly nearby
Wishing you could see me too
The way I’ve always looked at you
But love’s not fair, it doesn’t wait
It picks a heart, it sets a fate
And I’m the one who always knew
But you never look at me like you do her too
You ask me for advice
On how to win her heart
I smile and give you hope
While mine falls apart
You say her name like it’s a song
And I just try to stay strong
But every time you speak of her
My silence screams louder
I’m your friend, I wear that face
But behind it is a hollow space
You lean on me like I’m your guide
But never see the tears I hide
You look at her like she's your sky
While I stand quietly nearby
Wishing you could see me too
The way I’ve always looked at you
But love’s not fair, it doesn’t wait
It picks a heart, it sets a fate
And I’m the one who always knew
But you never look at me like you do her too
If I walked away, would you even see?
Would you finally notice me?
Or would I just fade into the air
Like I was never there?
You look at her, and I can’t lie
It breaks me more with every try
To be the friend you think I am
While holding back what I can’t stand
Love’s a quiet kind of pain
When it gives but won’t remain
So I’ll keep loving out of view
While you keep looking at her, not me like I wish you’d do
