I see you smile, but not for me
Caught in a dream you can't see
Every word you say feels like a rope
I'm hanging on to fading hope
You got your eyes on someone else
I'm in the corner by myself
Every laugh, I take the hit
You never knew I cared a bit
It's a one-sided story, I know the lines
I play the fool while you play blind
Got my heart in your rearview
You move on, I fade in blue
I write the songs you'll never hear
All my thoughts, they disappear
You say "Hey" like we're just friends
I nod along, pretend again
You're in the sunlight, I'm in the shade
Every move's a losing game
I pull the strings, but they don't tie
I keep it cool, but deep inside
It's a one-sided story, I know the lines
I play the fool while you play blind
Got my heart in your rearview
You move on, I fade in blue
Maybe one day, you'll see it clear
The words unsaid, the silent tears
But until then, I'll walk away
A heart unspoken in the fray
I write the songs you'll never hear
All my thoughts, they disappear
You say "Hey" like we're just friends
I nod along, pretend again
You're in the sunlight, I'm in the shade
Every move's a losing game
I pull the strings, but they don't tie
I keep it cool, but deep inside
It's a one-sided story, I know the lines
I play the fool while you play blind
Got my heart in your rearview
You move on, I fade in blue
I'm just a page in your book of love
A footnote in what you're dreaming of
I'll take my pride and let it go
In this one-sided story, I'm letting you know
