Lyric

It wasn't that I wanted you to fall in love with me.

It wasn't that I wanted you to turn my way, either.

I simply
wanted to be seen.

Deep down,
everyone harbors a wish
to be noticed
to have their existence acknowledged.

It isn't just about romance.
Family.
Friends.
Workplace.
School.
Social media.

Somewhere along the line,
I wanted to say,
I am here.

But sometimes, those feelings
never find the right words,
leading to missed connections
and lingering regret.

I Simply Wanted to Be Seen is a story
about those unspoken, unreached feelings.

To be loved.
To be acknowledged.
To be needed.
It wasn't about such grand desires;
I simply
wanted to be seen.

This is a song about that small wish.
Days when no one noticed me.
Words left unsaid.
Time spent only looking back.

And yet,
those feelings were never in vain.

The way you cherished someone.
The way you kept your gaze fixed on another.

That kindness
has become a part of your life.

This song is a love song,
but at the same time,
it is an anthem of support
for that wish we all harbor deep within:
the desire to be truly seen.

If listening to this song
brings to mind someone from your past...

Or perhaps
makes you reflect on who you are right now...
then that moment
is surely a meaningful one.

"I just wanted to be seen."
In those few words alone
lie unspoken feelings
and a gentle tenderness.

"I just wanted to be seen."
That sentiment surely resides
in everyone's heart.
