You Didn'T Notice Me
I hold my breath 'til you walk by
So you won't see my fear
My heartbeat screams your name each time
While hoping you will hear
My eyes meet yours in silent dance
Blinded by your fame
I listen close to every word
Praying you'll say my name
My body numb, I cannot move
Your shadow touches mine
I long to reach and take your hand
Please give me just one sign
My lips in fear, refuse to speak
A prisoner of my mind
My words betray me one by one
They're just too hard to find
You walk away, my breath relents
My blinded eyes can see
My lips scream out your name in vain
You didn't notice me
