You didn't notice me walk by
And didn't acknowledge my daily hi
You always just looked through me
Gave no thought as I passed you by
Never had a minute just to sit and talk
Never the time to get to know me
Never returned the smiles I flashed you
But how could you not see
Now you want to get to know me
Now you want to hear all my dreams
And you show an interest after all this time
But it's not as thoughtful as the gesture seems
You saw me at a party once where I was trying to fit in
You saw the girl I played so well and of course you fell for that
You saw a made-up person and it wasn't hard to see
That she was what you wanted you never wanted me.
