Looking from a perspective of the protagonist who stays on the sidelines of an unrequited love, with no promise, but with hopeless promises.
[Verse 01]
I’m just a shadow, caught in your glow
Staring at your world while I’m stuck in the cold
You don’t need me, you never did
But I keep hanging on, just like I always did
[Pre-Chorus]
There's so much more
There's so much more
There's so much more
You're hiding
[Chorus]
Watched you thrive, while I was standing by
I feel the poison, your lips just speak lies
I’m on the sidelines, while you break my heart
I’m lost in your world, but we’re worlds apart
[Verse 02]
You don’t see me, you don’t know my name
I’m just waiting here, trapped in this game
You don’t need me, you never did
But I keep hanging on, just like I always did
[Pre-Chorus]
There's so much more
There's so much more
There's so much more
You're hiding
[Chorus]
I watched you thrive, while I was standing by
I feel the poison, your lips just speak lies
I’m on the sidelines, while you break my heart
I’m lost in your world, but we’re worlds apart
I watched you thrive, while I was standing by
I feel the poison, your lips just speak lies
I’m on the sidelines, while you break my heart
I’m lost in your world, but we’re worlds apart
