Lyric

Even when I’m right beside you, your gaze feels far away

Your words float somewhere high above

I try to smile, but they don’t reach

It’s like I’m just a transparent shadow

Where am I, the me inside you?

At the edge of a nameless dream

Even when you hold me, your warmth is not enough

I love you, yet you can’t see me

You laugh with friends, that shining face

I’m nowhere in that light

Like a photo where I fade and shy away

I blur, I vanish from view

Where am I, the me inside you?

Carrying unspoken wishes in my heart

I turn this aching chest into a song

Hoping someday it reaches you, hoping you notice

If I were gone, would you feel lonely

Even for just a moment?

I’m too scared to hear the answer

So I sink silently into the night

Where am I, the me inside you?

Am I just a shadow, or your love?

Just once more, I want you to look at me

See that I am here, that I am alive

A sinking heart, a single tear

All I wanted was to hear you say, “I love you”
