Lyric

That day, when I saw your quiet smile

Something warm just opened up in me

Even though you were far away

Your name kept coming back to me

I knew you cared for someone else

I knew it long before I felt this way

Still my heart kept moving on

Even when it hurt to stay

I didn’t need this love to come true

Just feeling this was enough for me

Even a love that never begins

Can be something I want to keep

So let me say just one thing now:

I loved you

We shared the same familiar view

Yet I could never reach your world

But every time you laughed a little

The sky around me changed somehow

A love I shouldn’t hold onto

Felt too warm to walk away from

I tried to forget, but every time

You stayed where memories stay

I don’t need to call it fate at all

Hearing you speak my name was enough

Even a love that never became

Was the one I didn’t run from

And let me leave just one truth now:

I loved you
