I want that girl.
She cuts the room in light.
Every time she moves through,
I lose another fight.
Her smile lingers on.
Like glass inside my lungs
She looks right past me.
Like I don't belong.
And I stay where I stand.
Like a shadow on demand.
Never loud enough to reach.
Never close enough to land.
You don't know me.
You don't know I exist.
I stayed in your shadow.
And called it love that missed.
Maybe next life...
Maybe next life...
I'll be enough.
To meet your eyes.
I hear her laugh.
Through hollow walls.
It follows me home.
Then leaves me there alone.
I grip the silence.
Till my hands go white.
She never turns around.
But I still chase the light.
You don't know me.
You don't know I exist.
I stayed in your shadow.
And called it love that missed.
Maybe next life...
Maybe next life...
I'll be enough.
To stand inside your light.
Maybe I'm nothing.
Maybe that's true.
But God...
I wanted you.
You don't know me.
You don't know I exist.
Just smoke in the doorway.
A face you almost missed.
I stayed in your shadow.
I stayed there still.
Maybe next life...
I'll be enough.
I'll be enough.
To meet your eyes.
Like I was never there...
Never there...
Something fades.
