i –
i guess you’d –
i guess you’d never know

this secret i find so hard to keep

but even though i want to
i can’t

because –

no
never mind
forget it

i know it’s impossible
so why even try

it’s more than impossible
you
me

never
not this lifetime

i saw you the other day
do you know that

no of course not
silly me

you were up there
i was but one in the crowd

but i tried
i clapped so hard
and my eyes were tired
from trying to pick you out
when you were sitting with them
in the crowd like i was

you don’t know how ecstatic you made me
no silly me
of course not

of course not ever

are you one of them
– or us –
or –
– i don’t know
i’m wondering
all the time

but really
i don’t care

them – us
what’s the difference

as long as i can love you
as long as you are there
for me to love

sure
let them laugh
this unrequited love
i have for you

i don’t care
one of them one of us
as long as I can love you
