I find myself going
To the place you might be
Putting myself out there
So you might see

But I know you're not looking
Not even a glance
You have a partner
I don't stand a chance

I don't know why I'm here
Seeking hope is my best guess
I just want something from you
With that will come success

Why do I think that?
Our time is done
You've moved on
And I'm no longer the one

What would I even say
If we came face to face
I act like I'm prepared
But I feel I can't embrace

All that I've rehearsed
Would be scared away
The instant your eyes met mine
Instinct would make way

I guess all I want
Is to know how you feel
No more lies
Can you be real?

Tell me that you miss me
Or that you hate my guts
Hoping you say you love me
That would be nuts

That's all I want
A simple confession
Would you take me back
Or would you increase my depression

Sometimes I wish
That I could read minds
Knowing what people think
Would reveal all kinds

If only I knew
I'd be able to react
With the right words
I could be exact

But I'll never know
What you all think
Because when have
I ever been in sync

I'm the outcast
That stands alone
I guess it could be
That my smiles never shown

Teach me how to smile
And maybe you can find
The quiet person
You all left behind
