[Verse 1 ] I chase your laughter through the café noise A familiar little echo that was never mine I keep all your gestures in the back of my mind I read every silence like a secret line Every word that you drop falls into my night A tiny piece of nothing that still feels right [Pre-Chorus] You walk through the room, never catching my face I’m part of the backdrop, just filling the space I look in your eyes for a flicker of me But I’m fading so softly I’m hard to see [Chorus] I see you, but you don’t see me I’m the shadow walking quietly behind your feet My heart’s beating like a drum, but you’re not listening I see you, but you don’t see me [Verse 2] The air gets thinner when your shoulder brushes mine I rehearse a perfect line and lose it every time I’m an open book by your bedside light You turn a page or two, then leave me for the night I’m careful, I’m quiet, almost out of frame Just waiting for the moment you might say my name [Bridge] What if my fears never meant a thing? ’Cause tonight your eyes finally found where I’ve been Just one little smile that you chose to send Like you’d known all along, you were waiting for this to begin [Final Chorus] I see you, and now you see me Stepping out of the shadows, everything feels easy My heart’s racing wild, and you heard it too I see you, you see me… and the dark fell through [Outro] You had seen me All this time You had seen me
