Verse 1
I like you — three simple words I hide
But the truth runs deeper than the tide
It’s not just a crush that came and flew
I’ve been liking you...
Not for days, but for years — it's true
Pre-Chorus
You don’t see me the way I see you
I’m not the girl you dream of too
But I still hope that one sweet day
You might look my way...
Chorus
Even if you never love me back
Even if I’m never what you lack
I’ll still hold on, quietly
To this feeling inside of me
And if the day comes you feel it too
I’ll be here, waiting just for you
But if not, I’ll still be true
Still loving you... even if you never do
Verse 2
I don’t expect you to understand
Why I stay though I can't hold your hand
It’s not about what I hope to gain
But about loving you through joy and pain
Bridge
Maybe one day this heart will move on
Maybe this love will be gone
But until that moment comes to stay
I’ll love you silently every day
Final Chorus
Even if you never love me back
Even if I’m never what you lack
I’ll still hold on, quietly
To this feeling inside of me
And if the day comes you feel it too
I’ll be here, waiting just for you
But if not, I’ll still be true
Still loving you... even if you never do
