Stranger I Love

*Verse 1:* You walk by me like I’m not even there A ghost in the room, just breathing air I scroll through your page, see pieces of you But none of them lead me to something true We used to talk — or maybe we never did Now I’m stuck in the silence I always hid You’re the dream I’ve never touched The voice I crave, but don’t hear enough *Chorus:* I’m not even in your world But you’re everything in mine I’m screaming out in silence While you walk that perfect line I just want to know you Not through photos and pretend But I’m nothing to you And I’m breaking again You don’t even see me — I’m the stranger who loves you Not even a friend *Verse 2:* I think of what I’d say if I had the nerve But I edit my thoughts, scared you’d find them absurd One word from you would light up my days But you don’t even look my way I wish you'd ask how I'm really doing Or notice the w*r inside I’m losing I’m tired of being invisible hope Hanging onto a thread, trying to cope *Chorus:* I’m not even in your world But you’re everything in mine I’m screaming out in silence While you walk that perfect line I just want to know you Not through photos and pretend But I’m nothing to you And I’m breaking again You don’t even see me — I’m the stranger who loves you Not even a friend *Bridge:* If you’d give me a moment, I’d show you my heart Not to win you, just to not feel so far I’m not asking for love, just for something that’s real A sign that you see me, that I’m something you feel *Final Chorus:* I’m not even in your world But you’re the center of mine Still I wait in the quiet For a word, for a sign I just want connection More than this hollow pretend But I’m nothing to you And I break, and I bend You don’t even know me — I’m the stranger who loves you Not even… a friend *Outro:* I’m still here But I don’t know if you’ll ever care.
