Saw you, Lost you

"Saw You, Lost You"

(Acoustic Pop / Sad Indie vibe, like Lizzy McAlpine or Gracie Abrams)

Saw you across the hallway light

Five months of dreaming you’d be mine

Wrote your name inside my head

Every word I never said

Valentine’s came, I let it show

Put my heart into a trembling note

You smiled so soft, but the answer burned

You’re chasing someone I could never turn

I’m just the wrong kind of right

A shadow in your perfect light

You’re looking for something I’ll never be

And it’s killing the hope inside of me

I had to walk away, pretend I'm fine

But truth is, you were never mine

Now I pass you in crowded halls

Laughs and looks that aren't for me at all

I bite my tongue, I turn my face

Distance is the only way

I’m just a ghost in your busy world

Not your dream, not your kind of girl

It’s not your fault, but it still aches

To want someone who’ll never stay

I’m just the wrong kind of right

A shadow in your perfect light

You’re looking for something I’ll never be

And it’s killing the hope inside of me

I had to walk away, pretend I'm fine

But truth is, you were never mine

And maybe someday, I'll laugh at this pain

Maybe someday, I'll forget your name

But tonight, it rains inside my chest

Still wishing I could’ve been your best

I’m just the wrong kind of right

A face you forget when you close your eyes

You’re chasing dreams I don't fit inside

So I’m letting go, with the heaviest goodbye

You’ll never be mine…

And that’s okay — but it still hurts tonight
