You Don’t See Me

You reached your hand, a gentle start A quiet room, a nervous heart I held my cup, my head still gone Three weeks away, first day back on I turned too fast, no words to say No perfect line to make you stay I hope you didn’t read it wrong I’m just slow when days feel long I’m not cold, I’m not unkind Just a little lost in my own mind You don’t see me, standing quietly You can’t see how lovely I can be You don’t see me, I’m not hard or cruel I’m just careful, I’m just true (You Don’t See Me) You walked the halls, your first new day I watched my chances drift away You looked ahead, I stayed inside Two different worlds just passing by No dreams to break, no lines to cross No hidden hope, no sense of loss Just thought that maybe, side by side We could be friends, no need to hide I don’t chase, I don’t pretend Some things grow slow, some things bend You don’t see me, standing quietly You can’t see how lovely I can be You don’t see me, I don’t play a role I’m just guarded, heart and soul (You Don’t See Me) You don’t see me, but I’m still here Every doubt, every fear You don’t see me, still I stay Maybe words will come one day (You Don’t See Me) (You Don’t See Me)
