I see you with him, and I can’t help but wonder,
Does he know your heart, or just pull you under?
I\u2019d give you the stars if you asked me to,
But here I am, just a shadow to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every laugh, every smile you give to him,
Is like a spark that dims my light within.
I wish you\u2019d turn and see, what you mean to me,
But I\u2019m left standing in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why can’t it be me holding you tight?
Why can\u2019t it be me walking you home tonight?
I\u2019d be your shelter in the pouring rain,
I\u2019d ease your heart, take away the pain.
Why can\u2019t it be me, the one you choose to see,
Why can’t it be me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I watch from afar as you live your days,
And I\u2019m caught in the silence, lost in a maze.
I\u2019d write your name in every song I sing,
If only you knew the joy you bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He doesn\u2019t see the way your eyes light up,
Doesn\u2019t know how to fill your empty cup.
But I\u2019d be there for you, through thick and thin,
If you’d just let me in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why can’t it be me holding you tight?
Why can\u2019t it be me walking you home tonight?
I\u2019d be your shelter in the pouring rain,
I\u2019d ease your heart, take away the pain.
Why can\u2019t it be me, the one you choose to see,
Why can’t it be me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ll wait in the dark until you feel the light,
I\u2019ll stand by your side, though it cuts me inside.
Maybe one day, you’ll realize,
That love was right here, hiding in plain sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why can’t it be me holding you tight?
Why can\u2019t it be me walking you home tonight?
I\u2019d be your shelter in the pouring rain,
I\u2019d ease your heart, take away the pain.
Why can\u2019t it be me, the one you choose to see,
Why can’t it be me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh, why can\u2019t it be me?
Why can’t it be me?
Why can’t it be me?<\/p>\n\n\n\nAI Version 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I see you from a distance, lost in a dream,
You\u2019re everything I want, or so it seems.
I wonder if there\u2019s someone holding your heart,
Or if I still have a chance to play that part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every smile, every glance you throw my way,
Is like a sign that maybe you might stay.
But I\u2019m caught in between what\u2019s real and fantasy,
Still, I can\u2019t help but believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why can’t it be me holding you close?
Why can\u2019t it be me that you need the most?
I\u2019d be the one to catch you when you fall,
I\u2019d give you everything, give you it all.
Why can\u2019t it be me, the one you choose to see?
Why can’t it be me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t know if there\u2019s someone else on your mind,
But it feels like you\u2019re always just out of my sight.
I\u2019d give you my heart, but I don\u2019t know if you\u2019d stay,
Or if you\u2019d turn and walk the other way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m left wondering what you might feel,
Is it too late, or could this be real?
I can’t wait forever, just tell me straight,
Is there a chance or I am too late?.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why can’t it be me holding you close?
Why can\u2019t it be me that you need the most?
I\u2019d be the one to catch you when you fall,
I\u2019d give you everything, give you it all.
Why can\u2019t it be me, the one you choose to see?
Why can’t it be me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t know what\u2019s hiding inside your heart,
I don\u2019t know if we\u2019ve even got a start.
But I\u2019ll keep on hoping you\u2019ll find me here,
When you\u2019re ready to let someone near.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
