It was a hot summer day,
Sipping coffee with you, ordering takeaway.
She had to walk by, her twinkling eyes shimmer.
A breeze in the air, taking you with her.

The other day I met you in the cafe.
That’s when I notice her sitting a few tables away.
You held me at arm’s length,
Your eyes holding something words could never describe.

Look me in the eye
And say 'I love you'.
But in the deep turmoils in my heart,
I know you couldn't.

I should've known you couldn't,
Should've given up a long time ago.
I couldn't stay away from you long enough,
And that's what breaks my heart.

She was a magnet, a magnet for every you.
Leaving every me behind in her wake.
She, embracing her victory, showering in the glory.
While I lock myself in my bedroom every night.

I saw her more, a figure outshining other.
And you a few meters away, staring at her.
Her, a friend you thought you knew.
Not me, the one there for you since forever.

Look me in the eye
And say 'I love you'.
But in the deep turmoils in my heart,
I know you couldn't.

I should've known you couldn't,
Should've given up a long time ago.
I couldn't stay away from you long enough,
And that's what breaks my heart.

Look me in the eye
And say 'I love you'.
But in the deep turmoils in my heart,
I know you couldn't.

I should've known you couldn't,
Should've given up a long time ago.
I couldn't stay away from you long enough,
And that's what breaks my heart.

I know your heart belongs to her.
I know her heart belongs to another.
I wanted to spare you from the hurt.
But that would mean exposing myself to my scars.
