Seen But Not Chosen

Fuck my life, I’m not the one she wants

I still show up even though I know I’m not

She walk right past me like I’m not even there

But I still look like maybe she cares (maybe she cares…)

I’m seen but I’m not chosen

I’m seen but I’m not chosen

Standing still while she’s going

Standing still while she’s going (while she’s going…)

I see her laughing with somebody else

Act like I’m fine but I’m not doing well

I keep it quiet, I don’t say a word

But she still somehow stays in my world

I’m right here in the light

But I don’t cross her mind (don’t cross her mind…)

I’m right here every night

But I don’t feel alive (don’t feel alive…)

I watch her talk like it’s nothing at all

Like I don’t even matter in the hall

And I pretend I don’t notice the pain

But it hits me the same every day (every day…)

⸻

I walk the halls just to see her face

Even if she never looks my way

I tell myself it’s not that deep

But I lose sleep every week (every week…)

I’m seen but I’m not chosen

I’m seen but I’m not chosen

Heart open, slowly closing

Heart open, slowly closing (slowly closing…)

Maybe I’m just not her type

Maybe I’m just not worth her time

But it still hurts when she walks by

Like I don’t even cross her mind (cross her mind…)

I sit alone when the day is done

Thinking about what I might’ve become

If I was enough, if I was right

Would she look at me tonight? (tonight…)

⸻

Do you even know I exist like this?

Or am I just another face you miss?

I don’t need much, just one sign

That I ever crossed your mind (one sign…)

I replay it all in my head again

Every smile, every “hey” back then

And I swear for a second it felt real

Now I don’t even know how to feel (how to feel…)

⸻

Fuck my life, I’m not the one she wants

I still show up even though I know I’m not

She walk right past me like I’m not even there

But I still look like maybe she cares (maybe she cares…)

I’m seen but I’m not chosen

I’m seen but I’m not chosen

Standing still while she’s going

Standing still while she’s going (going… going…)

I’m right here in the light

But I don’t cross your mind (don’t cross your mind…)

I’m right here every night

But I don’t feel alive (don’t feel alive…)
