I see your smile from across the room,
You don't know me but, I know you.
I've stood on the side lines,
Wishing that one day I could call you mine.
Waiting for the right moment,
Just so I could show it.
My feelings I kept to myself,
I put them away, hid them on a shelf.
It's been years,
And yes I've shed some tears.
I've waited for you to come around,
But you always claim the wrong lost and found.
You see all the other girls,
I just wish you could call me your world
I've wanted this for so long,
But I went at everything all wrong.
So now I walk around with my head hung down,
Trying not to make a sound.
I've cried and cried,
Wishing I could have done things right.
I hid from everyone when things got hard,
I never could find that right card.
I blame myself,
For giving up and putting my feelings upon the shelf.
If you could see me now,
If you could just see how.
How much I really care,
And maybe our lives is what we could share.
To spend our days in the shade,
And never have to look back on tenth grade.
When everything went wrong,
And I lost what I had wanted for so long.
