you don't see me

Verse 1 (very soft) You look at everyone but me Like I’m a shadow you don’t see I tried so hard to stand my ground But silence is the only sound I gave my heart without a fight You stepped away, I lost the light I wasn’t asking you to stay I just hoped you wouldn’t turn away Pre-Chorus (whispered emotion) You said it’s not who you are And I respect your truth But why does loving you Still feel like something I can’t undo? Chorus (break here emotionally) You don’t see me The way I see you You don’t feel me The way I do Your smile could fix My darkest day But I guess my love Just got in the way I’d rather hurt Than make you stay So I’ll love you And walk away Verse 2 You avoid my eyes in crowded halls Like I’m the reason that you build your walls I never meant to make you cold I just had feelings I couldn’t hold Your friend laughs, the world goes on But in your silence, I feel gone I wasn’t asking for forever Just not to feel like I never mattered Bridge (almost crying) If I disappear, would you feel relief? Was I just a quiet mistake? I would’ve loved you so gently But maybe my love came too late Final Chorus (softer, broken) You don’t see me And maybe that’s okay I’ll keep your smile But give my heart away I loved you More than you knew But I won’t chase Someone who never chose me too
