[Verse]
I see her laugh it lights the sky
But in her eyes I’m just the guy
The one she leans on late at night
But never sees in love's true light
[Verse 2]
She tells me secrets dreams unfold
But keeps her heart so bitter cold
I’m standing here with arms so wide
But she can’t feel the burn inside
[Chorus]
Why can’t she see this fire in me
I’m screaming loud but silently
Her heart’s a lock I’ll never crack
Unrequited flames just hold me back
[Verse 3]
I trace her shadow in the dark
Her voice a knife it leaves a mark
She calls me close but keeps me far
I’m stuck between who we both are
[Bridge]
I’m her anchor her safety line
But I’m the one left lost in time
She holds the map but walks away
I’m stranded here I beg her stay
[Chorus]
Why can’t she see this fire in me
I’m screaming loud but silently
Her heart’s a lock I’ll never crack
Unrequited flames just hold me back
