I see you laughing in the sunlight,
But the warmth is never mine to hold.
I trace the edges of a maybe,
While your heart’s a story left untold.
I keep the words behind my teeth,
Hoping someday you might see—
But your eyes are looking past me,
At a dream I’ll never be.
’Cause I love you in the silence,
Where my voice can’t cross the line.
You’re a star I keep on chasing,
But you’ll never be aligned.
And it hurts to keep on hoping,
But I do it all the time…
Loving you feels like loving
Someone who’s almost mine.
You tell me secrets in the twilight,
I swear I feel our shadows blend.
But when you turn to say his name,
I remember where this story ends.
I keep my heart beneath my sleeve,
Praying someday you might need—
But you’re searching in the distance,
For a love that isn’t me.
’Cause I love you in the silence,
Where my voice can’t cross the line.
You’re a star I keep on chasing,
But you’ll never be aligned.
And it hurts to keep on hoping,
But I do it all the time…
Loving you feels like loving
Someone who’s almost mine.
Maybe in another lifetime,
Our roads would intertwine.
But in this one I just keep you,
In the corners of my mind.
So I’ll love you in the silence,
Even if it’s not returned.
Some lessons cut the deepest,
And this one, I have learned.
It’s a cruel and quiet heartbreak,
But it still feels so divine…
Loving you feels like loving
Someone who’s almost mine.
