Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I try to smile and look away,
Like your eyes don’t mess me up each day.
I’ve built a wall, I’ve locked the door,
But your name still echoes on my floor.

[Verse 2]
They say it’s just a phase, I’m young—
But it’s been months and it still stuns.
I act like I’m just passing by,
But inside I’m screaming "just say hi."

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you don’t feel the same,
And maybe that’s why I feel insane.

[Chorus]
I shouldn’t feel this way,
But your eyes pull me like a wave.
I fight it, hide it, pray it fades—
But some nights, I just break.
I’m not supposed to care this much…
But God, I wish I could be enough.

[Verse 3]
Sometimes I rehearse what I’d say,
Then I laugh and throw it all away.
‘Cause who would want someone like me,
Who shakes and hides and can’t be seen?

[Bridge]
Maybe I’m not normal, maybe I’m wrong—
But your eyes have been my home all along.
And I don’t need forever, or even a yes—
Just one second where my heart gets to rest.

[Emotional moment before the final chorus]
I see you smile… and I fall apart.
Still, I swallow the urge to run into your arms.

[Final Chorus]
I shouldn’t feel this way,
But I’d give it all to hear you say
That maybe—just maybe—you’ve felt it too…
But I’ll keep pretending,
Because I’ll never tell you.
