I don't want to be left out, but
I don't really want to make a scene
I looked up with tired eyes and
Thought I saw you starring back at me
But I quickly looked away because
If you weren't it would crush my self-esteem
It's better not to know the truth and
Slip back into my own waking dream
Where I'd walk on up to you , grab
Your hand and watch your smile grow
Share a good laugh and a kiss, ask
You to dance and swing you to and fro
Don't care what tomorrow brings, this
Happy moments all we need to know...
That's how I want our lives to go
But I'm still sitting by myself
Wondering if you feel the way I do
At night when you close your eyes, do you
Ever see me lying next to you?
And would you be surprised if I
Took your hand or would you refuse?
And send me on my way alone, with nothing
But a new case of the blues...
What do I really have to lose?
