Trying to remain calm in a crowded sanctuary
Trying to focus not on the words they're saying
I see the back of your head from just across the room
If you just turned to the left you might notice me too
But now all I can focus on is how I'm being perceived
By someone who has never even noticed me
White knuckles grasp the memories
Of all the times you talked to me
Even though there was no feeling
You were always so nice to me
The cadence, she starts singing
That old familiar song
The melody's grown draining
It's all she's ever sung
The false hope is now poignant
It's taking over me
I really truly believed that, someday,
You would fall for me
You were the closest I'd come to something real
And I desperately wanted to throw you away
And when I threw you away, oh, I felt so bad
But maybe it was for the best
'Cause all the conversations I tried to avoid
Look like missed opportunities
And even though I said the first words
You were the one who kept it going
And that's never happened to me
Behind your eyes there are things that you won't tell me
Your eyes were only ever meant to look happy
Your eyes always stood out in a crowd
Your eyes are what made me decide you were mine
Are what made decide you were mine
Are what made decide you were mine
Are what made decide you were mine
I wish I could see things the way that other people see them
So that I could find some better words to describe
The ways that I am feeling without possibly revealing myself
To the world for everyone to see
"It's all a dream"! That's what I'll say! That'll throw them off enough for me to write
And still be vague, but it'll come off as sincere
And you could find a piece of you or any problems that you're facing,
But they aren't mine, they aren't mine
They aren't mine, they aren't mine
They aren't mine, they aren't mine
They aren't mine
They aren't mine
They aren't mine, they aren't mine
They aren't mine, they aren't mine
They aren't mine
They aren't mine
They aren't mine, they aren't mine
