Lyrics
(Verse 1)
In the corners of my mind, you're always there, But I can't find the words to let you know I care. Every time I see your smile, it lights up my day, But I'm too afraid to speak, so I just walk away.
(Pre-Chorus) I'm smitten by your presence, lost in your gaze, But I can't find the courage to break free from this maze. I watch you from a distance, wishing I could say, How much you mean to me in every single way.
(Chorus) I'm smitten, but I can't let it show, You're the one I dream of, but you'll never know. I'm letting you go, to follow your own path, But I'll be here, silently loving you, aftermath.
(Verse 2)
We share the same halls, in this college of dreams,
But I can't bridge the gap, though it's closer than it seems.
You are focused on your studies, on reaching the stars,
And I'm just a shadow, watching from far.
(Pre-Chorus)
I am smitten by your laughter, your grace so divine,
But my words fail me every single time.
I will be your silent support, your friend in the crowd,
Even if my heart cries out, so unbearably loud.
(Chorus)
I am smitten, but I can't let it show,
You're the one I dream of, but you'll never know.
I'm letting you go, to follow your own path,
But I'll be here, silently loving you, aftermath
(Bridge)
I wish you all the luck, as you chase your dreams,
And I'll be here, no matter how distant it seems.
If you ever need a friend, a shoulder to lean on,
Just know I'll be there, from dusk until dawn.
(Chorus)
I am smitten, but I can't let it show,
You're the one I dream of, but you'll never know.
I'm letting you go, to follow your own path,
But I'll be here, silently loving you, afterall.
(Outro)
So here is to you, my love, though you'll never see,
The depth of what you mean, the hold you have on me.
I will be loving you from a distance, forevermore,
Silently smitten, yet keeping my heart's door.
