She stands in the light

Graceful and pure

He stands in the shadows

Worthless in fear

He wants to tell her he wants her

But he knows she doesn't want him

He needs to tell her he needs her

But he knows she doesn't need him

He'd love to tell her he loves her

But he knows she doesn't love him

So he stands behind her in shadow

Wishing things were different

Wishing she knew his heart

Wishing he had hers

Hoping things could change

Hoping ever hoping

For a chance to stand in the light

A chance to stand by her side

A chance he has never had

A chance he will never have
