She Don't Know

there she goes
the girl who takes my breath away
i know, i know
i’m borderline criminally cliche

i was so close
words formed on the edge of my lips
then i let her go
just this star here to hear my one wish

i, i just don’t know
had this dream so close, couldn’t close, couldn’t say a word
why did it take all this time
for me to find the courage, to write the words she should’ve heard

Chorus:
what could i have said? did she feel this way too?
does she feel this way now just the same as i do?
i’m further away, she still feels so close
and i don’t ever wanna let go
through the years and tears that were fallin’ like rain
all the chances that i lost, i only have myself to blame
so much i could’ve said and she don’t know

and now she’s gone
packed up her life, out of town and out of state
and i was so wrong
all the things i couldn’t say, oh, the heavy price that i’ve paid

why’s this bottle so dry?
it’s what i put myself through ‘cause i couldn’t say i love you
why did it take all this time?
and now i see that, without her, i’m not me

chorus

and she don’t

no, i don’t think that i’m crazy, maybe i’m in denial
and how i wish she were my baby, oh, for a little while
and i’d give anything she wanted for a half second of smile
and how i wish that she could be here, oh, for a little while

chorus
