[Verse 1] Walking past your window In the fading light of day I've practiced what to tell you But the words just slip away Like ships that pass at midnight Never knowing what they missed My heart beats like a thunder Every time your name is whispered [Verse 2] Seasons change their colors As I watch from far away [Chorus] In the shadows of what could be Lives the love you'll never see I'm a whisper lost in your storm A page in your book never torn Every day I'm falling deeper Into this love that grows weaker In your eyes, I'm just a friend This is how my story ends [Verse 1] Coffee shops and bookstores Where you sometimes pause to smile I collect these fleeting moments Storing memories all the while Like polaroids in winter Fading slowly with the years Your laughter fills the spaces Where my courage disappears [Verse 2] Letters never posted Dreams I've hidden deep inside [Chorus] Beneath the weight of silence Grows a garden full of might-have-beens I'm a footnote in your journey A sentence never underlined This river flows in one direction Carrying my heart downstream Your orbit holds me captive Though our paths will never meet [solo] [Verse 2] Seasons change their colors As I watch from far away [Chorus] In the shadows of what could be Lives the love you'll never see I'm a whisper lost in your storm A page in your book never torn Every day I'm falling deeper Into this love that grows weaker In your eyes, I'm just a friend This is how my story ends [Chorus] Beneath the weight of silence Grows a garden full of might-have-beens I'm a footnote in your journey A sentence never underlined This river flows in one direction Carrying my heart downstream Your orbit holds me captive Though our paths will never meet
