[Verse 1] I chase your laughter through the café noise, looking for a sign A familiar little echo that was honestly never mine I keep all your gestures in the very back of my mind Reading every single silence like a secret line, yeah Every word that you drop falls straight into my night A tiny piece of nothing that still feels so right You walk through the room, never catching my face I’m just part of the backdrop, just filling the space [Pre-Chorus] 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 sitting 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 the frame Just waiting for the moment you might say my name Yeah, just waiting for the moment... [Pre-Chorus] 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 [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.
