I saw you on the corner street
Same old walk, the same heartbeat
Time stood still, but I moved fast
Hid behind the glass as you walked past
My breath caught like a ghost
In a moment I wanted most
But I couldn’t meet your eyes
So I let you pass me by
If you saw me standing there
Would you freeze, would you care?
Would your heart skip just like mine?
Or would you just walk on by this time?
I wonder what I’d say or do
If I stood right in front of you
But instead, I watched and sighed
If you saw me… I’d still hide
We said goodbye with words so cold
But the warmth still hasn’t grown old
I wear your memory like perfume
Strongest in an empty room
You looked happy, or just fine
And I’m still caught in the rewind
So I stayed behind the shade
Of all the choices I never made
If you saw me standing there
Would you freeze, would you care?
Would your heart skip just like mine?
Or would you just walk on by this time?
I wonder what I’d say or do
If I stood right in front of you
But instead, I watched and sighed
If you saw me… I’d still hide
It’s not that I don’t miss you
It’s that I don’t trust what I’d do
If you smiled the way you used to
I might break all over again
If you saw me standing there
Would you see the love still in the air?
Would our silence say too much?
Would you leave or would we touch?
But I stayed quiet in the light
Even when it didn’t feel right
Some truths are easier denied
So if you saw me… I’d still hide
